Refreshing Orange Fig Salad Recipe

Feeling Fruity: Orange and Fig Salad

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and unique salad recipe perfect for the warmer months. This orange and fig salad is a delightful mix of juicy citrus flavors and sweet, earthy notes from the figs. It’s a great way to brighten up your day with a burst of freshness!

Ingredients:

• 2 oranges
• 4 fresh figs
• 100g mixed greens
• 50g pistachios, chopped
• 50g feta cheese, crumbled
• 30ml olive oil
• 15ml balsamic vinegar
• 15ml honey
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• salad tongs

I start by peeling the oranges and slicing them into rounds. Then, I cut the figs into quarters, removing the stems. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the mixed greens, orange slices, fig quarters, and chopped pistachios.

Next, in a small bowl, I whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to create a simple vinaigrette. I drizzle this dressing over the salad in the mixing bowl and gently toss everything together using salad tongs.

To finish, I sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top for a creamy and tangy touch. The combination of sweet fruit, crunchy nuts, and savory cheese creates a perfect balance of flavors in every bite.

This orange and fig salad weighs approximately 600g once assembled. It serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 150g. Each serving is estimated to have around 200 calories.

A clever tip for this salad is to refrigerate the orange slices before adding them to the mix. Chilled citrus adds a refreshing crunch to the salad and enhances the overall experience.

I hope you give this orange and fig salad a try and enjoy the explosion of flavors it brings to your table. Feel free to customize it with your favorite nuts or cheese to make it your own. Happy cooking!
