Goat cheese is a cheese with a strong flavor, but delicious at the same time. And it looks great in our salads, especially when combined with fruit.

6 Figs fresh figs
3 Oz Goat Cheese
1 small handful Walnuts
1 small handful Dried cranberries
1 small handful Pumpkin seeds

For the dressing

4 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

Fig and goat cheese salad is very easy to make. First we wash the lettuce we have chosen. We drain the water well and cut it into strips. Reserve in a bowl.
4 Oz Lettuce
Peel the figs with a sharp knife. But if the skin is not very thick, we can serve them with skin, in that case we wash them well under the tap and add them to the bowl with the lettuce, cutting them into four portions each.
6 Figs
Cut the goat roll into medallions, not too thick. Add them to the bowl. Also add a handful of dried cranberries (you can substitute them for raisins if you prefer), the walnuts and the pumpkin seeds.
3 Oz Goat Cheese, 1 small handful Walnuts, 1 small handful Dried cranberries, 1 small handful Pumpkin seeds

For the dressing

In a small bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and honey. Mix well until the honey has integrated with the rest of the ingredients. Add salt and ground pepper to taste.
4 tbsp Olive oil, 1 Lemon, 1/2 tsp Mustard, 1 tsp Honey, Salt and pepper
Dress the salad and mix well.
And now you have your delicious seasonal salad ready. I recommend that you dress it just when you are going to serve it.
