Simple Fig Salad

Every summer I find myself with an abundance of delicious figs from my in-law’s fig tree.  This year, we have soooo many, I figured I needed to find a way to use some other than just eating them by themselves.  I normally don’t eat figs with the skin on, however I was too lazy to peel the skin off, so I left it on.  I didn’t want to put anything in the salad that overpowered the sweet fig taste, so I treaded lightly on accompaniments.

Simple Fig Salad
Ingredients
1/2 of a 5oz container of mixed greens
5 figs, sliced vertically
3/4 macintosh apple, peeled and diced, I prefer organic
1/4 cup crumbled feta

Dressing
balsamic fig vinegar
olive oil

Combine all salad ingredients in a big bowl.  Drizzle with balsamic fig vinegar and olive oil and toss until lightly coated.  Note: The balsamic fig vinegar doesn’t overpower the flavors of the figs themselves, however I’m not sure how regular balsamic vinegar would taste.
