I made this last Friday night, when we had a party to celebrate Mike's birthday - but mainly for our loveliest friends over from Cambodia, what a joy (oh, and to set up a blind date, but no more comment on that one?!). But all added to a good giggly evening with some of our favourite people (what else is life for)..
I could eat this salad every day, and not only does it look great, but tastes totally perfect as well. I had to make it again last night, as my hand was a wee bit shaky last week to operate a camera phone - so here goes...
No guesses for the ingredients!
INGREDIENTS (for 6)
8 figs (they are a nightmare at the moment to find in the supermarket, so try your local grocers... the second they come in, they vanish, so I tend to hover and pounce as soon as I see them being brought in)
A circular packet of goats cheese (the smokier the better)
Large packet of rocket
2 Avocados (optional)
Packet of Pomegranate seeds
Lemon juice
Black pepper
Balsamic glaze
Spread the rocket on a serving platter. Drizzle some lemon juice over the top, and a little bit of balsamic vinegar, and black pepper. Cut figs into 8'ths and lay over the top. Slice the avocado and make a nice little pattern with that too. Slice the goats cheese quite thinly and lay that around the top. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the top to add a bit of crunch. Sprinkle some more black pepper over the top, and some lemon juice, and then finish off by drizzling it with balsamic glaze.
YUM YUM
We had it last night with some grilled salmon with yuzu dressing (lemon, orange, soy, mirin, sake, garlic and ginger sauce) and noodles.... but good enough on its own or with cold meat.
