Recipe: FIG SALAD WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Although we love it, salad has a difficult image. It is seen as diet food, dowdy and/or only for rabbits. With her book Saladebijbel, Welmoed Benzoel is going to put an end to that image. Nothing boring or dowdy: salads come in all shapes and sizes. With 230 (!) different recipes to prove this, this book has a salad for everyone. We’re giving you the recipe for the fig and Parmesan cheese salad in advance.

Although I recently saw a video that almost made me afraid to eat figs ever again, I can’t get enough of them. This salad is also super quick and easy to make. 

How to make fig salad with Parmesan cheese

• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and fry them for 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Leave to cool briefly.
• Mix the fried onions with the rocket and place on a plate.
• Garnish the salad with the figs, hazelnuts and Parmesan cheese.
