Ingredients
To make the Champagne Vinaigrette:
6 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Champagne Vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 teaspoon Shallots, minced
1 Tablespoon honey
salt and pepper to taste
To make the salad:
5 ounces Arugula
8 fresh Figs, sliced
1/3 cup Blanched Slivered Almonds
Other Toppings:
Goat Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Proscuitto, Garbanzo Beans, Pecans, Hemp Seeds
Instructions
1.) To make the dressing, add all the ingredients together in a blender and blend or in a small bowl and whisk to bring all the ingredients together. You can also make this in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to combine all the ingredients.
2.) Cut the stems off the fresh figs and slice them, set aside.
3.) In a large bowl, add the arugula and toss with some dressing (the amount will depend on how much you like on your salad but you will definitely have leftovers). Plate even amounts of arugula on 3 or 4 plates and equally sprinkle sliced almonds and fresh figs over each plate. Drizzle some more dressing on top if you like and enjoy!
