Fresh Fig Salad Recipe With Pistachio And Pomegranate Dressing Food

FRESH FIG SALAD RECIPE WITH PISTACHIO AND POMEGRANATE DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl.
• Divide the salad between 2 plates and top with the fig, onion, and pistachios.
• Drizzle dressing on top of each and serve immediately.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH HERBED FETA, PISTACHIO AND POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the carrots, potatoes and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and coriander. Spread the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Flip the vegetables and continue to roast until tender and browned all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, add the feta, yogurt, honey, lemon zest and lemon juice to a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if needed to loosen the puree. Add the herbs and pulse until just distributed (you don't want to turn the mixture green; you just want to combine them). Spread the feta mixture on a platter. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the feta. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and pistachios over the top and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

FIG SALAD WITH POMEGRANATES

Steps:

• EXTRACT POMEGRANATE SEEDS: Roll pomegranate on counter to loosen seeds. Cut pomegranate in half. Taking the first half, hold pomegranate seed side down over a bowl. Smack the outside with a wooden spoon (hard!) to release the seeds. Repeat with the other half. Note 1.
• MAKE BALSAMIC DRESSING: Place all dressing ingredients in a lidded container. Shake until blended. Alternatively, whisk ingredients together until well blended.
• ASSEMBLE SALAD: Place lettuce in a large, wide-mouthed bowl. Sprinkle over top the figs, avocado (if using), goat cheese (if using) and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle on dressing just before serving. 

HERB SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE & PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Mix the juice, vinegar and honey with seasoning. Tip rest of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, drizzle over the dressing and gently toss to serve.

FIG VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Put shallot in a small bowl. Cover with vinegars and season with salt and pepper. Macerate for 5 minutes.
• Stir in mustard and mashed figs and mix well. Whisk in olive oil.

FRESH FIG, APPLE, AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, olive oil, sour cream, and Dijon mustard in a small food processor or blender. Puree until dressing has begun to blend, about 30 seconds. Add green onion and garlic; process until smooth, 30 to 45 more seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place mixed greens in a large salad bowl and add vinaigrette to taste. Toss greens until coated, then divide evenly among 4 salad bowls.
• Top salads with equal amounts of fig halves, chopped apple, pomegranate seeds, almonds, and feta cheese.
