How to Make Mixed Greens With Fig And Wine Dressing
- Combine 9 fresh figs (about 1 cup chopped) and 1/2 cup red wine in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until figs are softened.
- Let the fig mixture cool completely for at least 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooled fig mixture to a blender. Add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth.
- Season the vinaigrette with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- While the vinaigrette cools, toast 1/2 cup hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool and roughly chop.
- In a large bowl, combine 5 cups mixed greens, the toasted hazelnuts, and 1/2 cup shaved Manchego cheese.
- Pour the fig vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- Garnish with fresh fig slices and additional Manchego cheese and hazelnuts, if desired.
