Fig, Stilton and Walnut Salad

According to Paul Simon, there are 50 ways to leave your lover.

I need to find 50 ways to serve up my fig crop!

Here's an absolutely delicious lunch I put together today, using what I had to hand.

Fig, Stilton and Walnut Salad



Ingredients

2 fresh figs per person

Stilton cheese, quantity according to preference

chopped walnuts, about a handful per serving

Runny honey

Method

Wash figs, cut off stalks and halve.  Place on a serving dish.

Crumble stilton over figs.

Sprinkle walnuts over figs.

Drizzle honey over figs.

It's that simple!

Serve with a salad of shredded little gem lettuce, finely sliced red onion and quartered tomatoes (mix of colours if you have them). 

Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the salad, maybe a bit of olive oil, and season.

And then  ... enjoy!!!

This is a perfect little lunch for enjoying outdoors.

And here's an aerial shot I took in the kitchen before I traipsed outside with lunch.  You could substitute the figs for pears or apples, if you can't get hold of figs.  Or if you just don't like them. 

I am growing to love their fine refreshing flavour.

So, peeps, that's 1 way to serve figs.  49 to go!!!

A la perchoine.
