How would a healthy salad in less than 15 minutes sound? This salad is fast and easy to make and it can be a lunch or dinner itself or you can pair it with other foods like chicken and mashed potatoes.
I found this recipe from Finnish Pirkka food webpage but since the page is only in Finnish I’ll translate the recipe for you. If you prefer reading in Finnish, you can find the original recipe here.
Fruity Cheese and Fig Salad
1 bunch of iceberg lettuce
1 bunch of arugula
1/2 cucumber
1 apple (I used Granny Smith)
1/2 box of grapes
200g (1/2 pound) Brie cheese
200g (1/2 pound) figs (fresh or dried)
Dressing
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp mustard
Hint of salt
Hint of black pepper
How to
1. Rip the lettuce and mix it with arugula into a bowl. Split the cucumber and do small slices of it. Do small slices or pieces of the apple too. Cut grapes to halves.
2. Mix cucumbers, apples and grapes and put them on top of lettuce and arugula.
3. Mix the ingredients of the dressing and pour the dressing to your salad.
4. Cut figs to slices and cut cheese to smaller pieces. Place both on top of the salad.
5. ENJOY! ❤

Haha! That’s exactly what my fiancée said. He always says that I should leave it to mice but I cannot, too tasty. 🙂 But I guess the recipe would work without brie too, maybe I would then eat this with some chicken or something to get some protein to my meal.
