This simple bittersweet Fall salad with arugula, radicchio, fresh figs and walnuts is a lovely light starter or side dish, and surely will liven up any meal. The honey vinaigrette takes a few minutes to make and very versatile. It delivers lots of wonderful flavour, but won't overpower the salad. The recipe is a great base for other combinations of oil (avocado oil), vinegar (red wine or apple cider vinegar), and syrups (maple or date syrup). You can either use the dressing immediately, or you can make it a couple of days in advance of serving.

SaladHoney Vinaigrette
  • 80 g Walnuts, toasted
  • 75 g Arugula
  • 75 g Radicchio, tore into bite-sized pieces
  • 5 Fresh figs, cut into wedges
  • 100 g Fresh goat cheese
  • Dill or parsley, choped
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp White balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • A large pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  1. Heat walnuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes and smell toasted, stirring constantly to ensure even toasting until the nuts turn golden brown. Remove to a plate to cool.
  2. Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a clean jar. Cover with lid, and shake until fully blended. Chill until ready to use.
  3. Place arugula, radicchio, and fig wedges in a large salad bowl. Add in 1/3 of the salad dressing and gently toss them together. Divide it into two serving plates. Top with fresh goat cheese and chopped dill. Crumble the toasted walnuts over. Serve it with the rest of the vinaigrette.

    Angie, I love salads! This one that you suggest seems so tempting that it will be one of my preparations for our next summer.
    Your recipes are surprisingly delicious. Some, it is necessary to adapt them to our availability of their ingredients.
    Thank you.

    Bueno, ya sabes lo que me gustan los higos, tanto en recetas dulces como saladas. Tu ensalada es sencilla y deliciosa, una pena que los higos tengan una temporada tan corta porque la podría comer durante todo el año, es buenísima.
    Bss
