Ingredients

  • 4 cups beet leaves
  • 8 large figs
  • ½ cup mizythra cheese
  • ½ cup walnuts

For the rosemary dressing

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon mild mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves chopped
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • In a pint-size jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, ¾ teaspoon sea salt, and ½ teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Cover and shake to dissolve the salt. Add the olive oil and shake to blend—taste for seasoning.
  • Arrange the greens on the four plates.
    Slice the figs and add 4-5 slices to each plate. Sprinkle mizythra cheese and walnuts. Drizzle one-two tablespoons of the vinaigrette on each plate. Serve with more dressing on the side.

Notes

  • Substitute 1-2 tablespoons of dry rosemary leaves well ground in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder for fresh rosemary leaves.
  • Instead of figs, you can make this salad with grapes or pears.
  • Arugula can be a substitute for beet leaves.
