Fresh Figs, Israeli Feta & Arugula Salad with Balsamic Honey Vinaigrette

My friend Jessica told me to make this salad using Israeli Feta cheese. It's amazing. I don't really like feta, but this one is different. It's full-flavored, creamy, and not overly salty. It's made from sheep and goat's milk. It goes perfectly with fresh figs, the spicy, slightly bitter arugula and the sweet honey balsamic dressing.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 cups arugula

8 fresh figs, quartered

¼ cup Israeli feta cheese, crumbled

Dressing sounds fabulous. Thanks for the tip on where to buy the feta. Just leave a few figs in a bag next to your driveway!
