Green Salad with Blue Cheese, Walnuts and Figs

 

1/2 pound fresh salad greens, cleaned, dried, and

chilled

3 to 4 tablespoons walnut oil, avocado oil or olive

oil

a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt

4 ripe fresh figs or 4 to 6 dried figs, sliced

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (feta will work too)

1/4 cup minced walnuts, lightly toasted

freshly ground black pepper

2 lemons, cut into squeezable wedges

 

Place the greens in a large bowl. Drizzle in the oil,

sprinkle in the salt, and toss until well coated.

Add the figs, blue cheese, and walnuts, and toss

gently but thoroughly. Grind in some black pepper.

Serve immediately, and pass a dish of lemon wedges for

squeezing over the top of each serving. Yields 4 to 6 servings.
