Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt until lightly browned and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Add figs and balsamic vinegar to onion, cook over medium heat until vinegar is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Season fig mixture with salt and pepper.

  2. Spread spinach onto serving plates and top with fig mixture and Gorgonzola cheese.

Recipe Yield

2 servings

Recipe Note

Surprisingly light but decadent-tasting salad. The balsamic reduction provides enough moisture so that no additional salad dressing is needed. Serves 2 entree-sized salads or 4 small appetizer salads.
