Add a photoSweet, nutty figs are terrific with salty meats and cheese. Serve this salad on a warm night with a glass of chilled pinot grigio or rose.
Ingredientes
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 head of red butter lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
- 8 large fresh figs (any kind will do)
- 3 ounces crumbled blue cheese or Gorgonzola
- 6 slices good quality bacon, cooked until crisp and diced
- salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- In a small bowl, whisk together shallots and vinegars. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing comes together. Whisk in salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, figs, blue cheese and bacon. Toss in the desired amount of vinaigrette and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
- Alternatively, you can just dress the lettuce and put desired portion on each plate, top with bacon, figs and blue cheese. Drizzle with a little more dressing. I find this works better to get the desired amount of cheese, bacon and fig for each serving. It also keeps the lettuce a little crisper.
