The second day of my meat free week has been much better than day 1 and my lunch of Fig and Feta salad was the highlight.
I was wrong when I said yesterday that vegetarian food is difficult, actually it's perfectly simple and follows the same ideas as meat and fish cookery; buy good produce and put it together with love.
Fig and Feta Salad - Serves 1
Ingredients
2 large handfuls of rocket (arugula)
2 figs
60g, 2oz Feta cheese (or similar)
Balsamic vinegar to serve
Method
Cut the figs into quarters arrange on the rocket and crumble the feta on top.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar just before serving. Use a decent balsamic vinegar you would happily have a spoonful of on it's own. It's worth it.
Absolutely simple and absolutely stunning.
I have a tomato and brie tart cooking in the oven right now and I can tell you, vegetarian or not, I'm feeling good about the world!
I've linked this up to recipe of the week.
So many of us find ourselves eating alone or as a couple and, as a result, so many of us reach for convenience solutions. What if we cooked for ourselves like we were cooking for someone we loved? This is what this site is all about. Some of the food is healthy, some isn't, all of it is made with love.
I love the colours in this, it is perfect for Spring
ReplyDeleteIt made me feel really happy to be opening a box of this at work I can tell you!
DeleteThis looks delicious. I love the sweetness of figs with the saltiness of feta. I saw your link on Carole's Chatter.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's kind of addictive!
