Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 bunch watercress -- stemmed and coarsely chopped

1 cup walnuts (4 ounces) -- toasted and coarsely chopped

3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Pinch cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons plain yogurt or sour cream

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

16 fresh green or black figs

 

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except figs.

Stand figs upright and, with scissors, cut an X through tops. Gently pull the 4

sections apart, creating a cavity in each fig. Fill each fig with about 1

tablespoon watercress mixture.

Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Variation: To serve as a sitdown, knife-and-fork, salad course: Dress 8 cups

seasonal greens with a vinaigrette. Place mound of greens on a serving plate and

top with 2 stuffed figs.
