What I like with the early fall season is that we still want to eat salad because it is not too cold yet and we can enjoy a whole new lot of seasonal produce. I love the slightly sweet and savoury salads and this fig, blue cheese and walnut salad is one of the hits of the season for me. I love the different flavours – the sweetness of the figs and the acidity of the blue cheese – and textures with the crunchiness of the walnuts. Add a few crumbs crispy Pancetta and I am in salad heaven.
To season the whole thing, I found nothing better than my little honey and soy sauce vinaigrette. I gives even more sweetness to this fig, blue cheese and walnut salad. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water…
Fig, blue cheese and walnut salad with honey soy sauce dressing
Prep time: 10mn
Serves 4
Serves 4
Ingredients
For the salad
- 150g baby leaf mix
- 4 figs
- 150 à 200g of Roquefort (or any other kind of blue cheese)
- a handful of walnuts
For the honey soy sauce dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon French mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic or sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Prepare the dressing:
- Mix the honey and mustard and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a small whisk or a fork. The sauce does not need to be too emulsified.
Prepare the salad:
- Cut the figs in 8 and the blue cheese in cube. Roughly cut the walnuts.
- Divide the baby leaves on the plates. Have the equivalent of a fig (that is to say 8 pieces) on each plate and sprinkle with the cubes of cheese and walnuts.
- Pour some dressing over each plate.
Notes
For even more flavour and crisp, I like to add a few slices of pancetta that I have cooked in pan until crisp. I drain the excess fat, and allow them to cool before I crumble them over the salad, yum! Bacon works great too.
This is a simple yet famtastic receipe…so delicious! Thank you!
Salut, Anne-Sophie. J’ai un doute: quand tu dis “moutarde française”, tu veux dire Dijon ou autre? Salutations du Brésil!

The combination of figs, blue cheese, and walnuts sounds delicious. I like how the recipe brings together sweet and savory flavors in a simple salad. halal kfc near me is also useful when checking KFC food options.
The combination of figs, blue cheese, and walnuts sounds really well balanced, with the sweetness of the fruit working nicely alongside the stronger cheese and crunchy nuts. I like recipes that bring together a few contrasting flavors without making the preparation overly complicated. After cooking, Quenq GTA is a fun browser game to play.
