This is delicious. I substituted arugula for the romaine because I like the peppery with the sweet. I used an olive oil/blackberry balsamic vinaigrette. My husband and I both loved it!
Delicious! Used a Balsamic
I altered the type of lettuce and cheese used. My husband told me that he didn’t like the fresh figs I brought-so I was looking for a different way to present them because we have a fig tree! Oranges and figs were a good combo.
Great mix of flavors in your mouth , made for easter was a hit!
Delightful salad. I made my own vinaigrette dressing. Since the dressing is mixed in at the beginning, it probably doesn’t serve well a second time, and as such, you may consider serving the dressing on the side unless you’re sure it will all be consumed at the first setting.
I have to admit I wasn’t sure about this salad while reading the recipe. But for anyone who wonders about the mix, it is wonderful! We have eaten this salad for the last 3 nights. We love it! Thanks for the recipe!
I planned on making this recipe as is, but ended up modifying it a bit. The grocery store I went to didn’t have fresh figs so I used golden raisins instead. I also accidentally got a blood orange (don’t ask me how I didn’t notice) but ended up loving it in the salad. I also substituted arugula for the romaine and added some candied walnuts for a nice crunch. The combination was delicious!
A nice, new salad combination to keep things fresh.
I’ve been eyeing my dad’s fig tree waiting to get the perfect fig to make this salad…delicious! I didn’t have any fresh oranges, so I used mandarin oranges, and they worked out fine. Topped this w/ raspberry vinaigrette…all of the flavors went wonderfully together. I think next time I’ll add a bit of red onion too. I will def be making this again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
