Roasted Figs with Baby Greens and Honey Vinaigrette
- 4 small fresh black mission figs, stemmed
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons orange blossom honey
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 cups baby mixed greens
- 1 handful each assorted fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, and chives, finely chopped
- 4 ounces gorgonzola, cut in big chunks
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut a small "X" in the top of the figs and squeeze it gently to crown it slightly.
- Put the figs on a sheet pan, drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake until the figs are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- Put the mixed greens and chopped herbs in a bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss gently with your hands.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey, warm water, and lemon juice; whisk with a fork to combine.
- To serve, divide the greens between 2 plates, mound the chunks of gorgonzola cheese on the side of each and place 2 roasted figs in the center of the salad.
- Drizzle the whole thing with the warm honey vinaigrette.
