Fresh Fig and Arugula Salad with Goat Cheese


Fresh sweet figs with soft goat cheese over baby arugula topped with a balsamic glaze. A beautiful salad without the fuss, using only 5 ingredients; this salad will make you look like a rock star in the kitchen! 

Once revered as a symbol of peace and prosperity, figs are beloved today for their unique flavor and texture. Not to mention, they offer some health perks, too: Figs contain some potassium and vitamin A.

What's your Salad'tude this Holiday Season? My salad'tude is simple, healthy, beautiful and quick.  Share your Salad'tude on Skinny Bits for a chance to win a Trip for Two to the four-star Solage Hotel & Spa in Napa Valley with Dole! (ends Sunday Nov 25th).


Balsamic glaze is my favorite new find, it's thick and sweet and you can drizzle it on salad, sandwiches or even strawberries. I bought mine in Trader Joe's but I see it in stores everywhere now. It's pairs perfectly with figs, and you only need to drizzle a little olive oil on top.

You can serve this salad on a large platter with olive oil and balsamic on the side, or you can serve them on plates, one fig per person.


If goat cheese isn't your thing, gorgonzola would make a perfect replacement. You could even add slivered almonds or walnuts.
