Download this Recipe (.pdf)

Ingredients

For the Salad
60g mixed lettuce
  (baby spinach, basil, rocket and/or watercress)
4 figs (about 250g), stems removed
1 buffalo Mozzarella ball (about 140g)
2 Italian plum tomatoes
100g black Calamata olives

For the Honey Dressing
6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp honey or ¼-½ tsp stevia (powder)
freshly ground salt & black pepper

Method

For the Salad
Spread the lettuce over a flat serving plate.
Cut a cross into the figs to about ½cm from the bottom.  Squeeze the base of the fig to expose the inside and lay the figs evenly over the lettuce.
Tear the Mozzarella into largish pieces and lay between the figs.
Slice each tomato into 6 wedges and lay the slices in any gaps in the salad.
Sprinkle the olives evenly over the salad.

For the Honey Dressing
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, honey & freshly ground salt & black pepper to a jar.  Close the lid & shake well.
Just before serving, drizzle half the dressing over the salad and serve the rest of the dressing in a jug on the side.

Banting/LCHF
Use stevia - not honey. Depending on the make, the quantity of stevia may need adjusting - so taste!

Variations

Add 100-150g Parma ham or prosciutto twirls between the figs before adding the Mozzarella, tomatoes & olives and serve as a starter or lunch for 4 people.
