For my Food of the Month, I featured delicious figs and provided you with wonderful recipes I found from Meal Makeover Moms
. As promised, I came up with a simple recipe of my own. Try it and enjoy!!
RECIPE:
Savory Spinach Salad with Figs and Goat Cheese
Ingredients:
- 2 – 3 cups raw baby spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 8 figs, quartered
- 2 oz goat cheese
- 1-2 strips of turkey bacon, crisp from skillet (drained and chopped into “bacon bits”)
- 1/2 vidallia onion
- Balsalmic vinaigrette (make your own or try this simple recipe)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- vegetable broth (enough to keep onions from drying out / sticking to pan)
Saute onions in a tsp of olive oil and vegetable broth until translucent. Add to bowl of baby spinach. Mix in pecans, goat cheese, turkey “bacon bits” and figs. Add 1-2 TBS of balsamic vinaigrette and gently toss (lightly coated). Serves 4.
How do you dress up your salads?
