The Delicious Fig Vinaigrette!
Now that figs are coming into season why not sweeten your salad up with a fresh fig vinaigrette.
6 fresh figs
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped basil
salt and pepper
Cook figs in water over high heat. As figs begin to soften mash figs over heat. Cook for about 7-10 minutes continue to mash and stir. Strain fig mixture into bowl and whisk with other ingredients. Chill until ready to serve

Yummers! I love how figs can go savory. Would be great on a salad with sheep's cheese and walnuts, eh? My favorite sweet way to eat figs is in a tart or just cut up and drizzled with cream. But savory, I'd have to say wrapped with prosciutto and grilled on a skewer. Dates are good that way if you stuff them with goat cheese... OK now I need a second lunch...
