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
Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
1Toss arugula, figs and feta cheese together in a large bowl.
Vinaigrette
1In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
2Drizzle honey and balsamic vinegar over salad before serving.

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!
