Fig, Goats Cheese and Walnut Salad

The combination of fresh figs, goats cheese and walnuts is out of this world!!!! This salad is sure to impress friends and family 🙂

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 6 figs cut into quarters
• 1 large avocado or 2 small ones cut into chunks
• 4 handfuls of spinach
• 2 Lebanese cucumber peeled and cut and diced
• 1/2 cup crushed roasted walnuts (see below for how to roast them)
• 150g goats cheese (my favourite is Meredith Dairy Goats Cheese)
• Drizzle of olive oil for dressing
• Salt and pepper

Method

• In a large salad bowl or 4 individual bowls add the spinach leaves then top with figs,  avocado and cucumber
• Sprinkle with roasted walnut and crumble over goats cheese
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper

Crushed roasted walnuts- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place nuts on a tray and roasted for approx. 5 minutes (check every few minutes as they do turn from golden to burnt in a matter of seconds). Remove from oven and let them cool for a few minutes then chop finely with a sharp knife.
