Fig and Feta Salad

This salad rates up there with an aspic salad, for a tea.  Like an aspic it is interesting. But it is also crispy, crunchy, salty and sweet.  It is a perfect starter for a light meal. You will need to make this a day ahead of time so that the flavors meld.

7 ounces of Dried Figs, finely chopped, I used a pair of cooking shears and sniped the figs
4 ounces of Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 rib of Celery, finely chopped
3 Tablespoons of Walnuts
3 Tablespoons of Fresh Orange Juice
2 Tablespoons of Sepay Groves Olive Oil
Salt, if desired

Mix all of the ingredients together, except the walnuts. Refrigerate overnight.  When ready to serve.  Add walnuts.

Enjoy!

  1. I grew up with 2 figs trees and absolutely adore figs. This was a wonderful use of dried figs. It was so delicious that I took it with me for lunch, in my Tupperware Cold Cup. Nancy
