Cheese-Topped Fig Salads

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Fig & Blue Cheese Salad Recipe Boasts Umami Flavors

— November 13, 2020 — Lifestyle
Basson Laubscher's Fig & Blue Cheese Salad recipe was recently featured in The South African and is a tasty side dish or plant-based meal option. The salad is a rich source of heathy fats and plant-based proteins and is quick and easy to prep.

Its recipe consists of a rocket (arugula) base that is fused with one chopped fig and one chopped avocado. The salad is then topped with Cabernet Sauvignon Balsamic Dressing and crumbled blue cheese pieces.

The salad's peppery arugula ingredients are balanced out with the sweet and acidic flavors of its fig and red wine dressing. Additionally, the salad's avocado and blue cheese toppings bring an elevated texture and add substance for those enjoying the dish as a vegetarian protein bowl.
