  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 1/2 cups cored Bosc pear, thinly sliced, (about 1)
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled goat cheese
  • 6 tablespoons Fig Vinaigrette

FIG VINAIGRETTE:

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 5 dried Black Mission figs, stemmed and coarsely chopped
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, minced

FIG VINAIGRETTE:

1. Combine balsamic vinegar and figs in a small saucepan over high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced to 1/3 cup (about 5 minutes). Combine the fig mixture, 6 tablespoons water, and lemon juice in a blender, and process until smooth.
