Fig and feta salad is super easy to make and tastes wonderful with all those lovely flavours and textures coming together on one plate of glorious Greek sunshine no matter where you are or what the weather is like.
This fig and feta salad recipe is for two people so just double up etc to add more portions to suit.
You’ll need four ripe fresh figs, some sourdough bread, a clove of garlic, some good feta cheese, Greek yogurt, some pine nuts, salad leaves and also a few ingredients for the dressing; olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey and salt and pepper.
Once you’ve toasted the pine nuts and made the crutons this is really just an assembly job. My kind of cooking, quick and easy, minimal fuss and good, healthy tasty results.
