Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 large fresh figs (Black Mission or Calimyrna); 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar; 6 teaspoons dark brown sugar; 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil; 6 teaspoons fresh lemon juice; 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard; sea salt, to taste; ground pepper, to taste; 8 cups mixed salad greens

Servings: persons

4 large fresh figs (Black Mission or Calimyrna)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
sea salt, to taste
ground pepper, to taste
8 cups mixed salad greens

1
Snip the tiny stem end off each fig and cut in half lengthwise.
2
Mix vinegar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
3
Add the figs and gently toss to coat.
4
Let sit while you heat a grill (indoor or outdoor).
5
If necessary, coat your grill with a little olive oil.
6
When ready, grill the figs (reserving all of the marinade in the bowl) for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until grill marks appear -- don't overcook as the figs will become too mushy. Remove figs to a plate.
7
To the reserved marinade, add olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper, whisking well to completely incorporate.
8
Place greens in a large salad bowl; toss with dressing, then mound equal amounts on 4 individual serving plates.
9
Place 2 fig halves decoratively over each plate of greens and serve.
