This is South African fare at its best. Use fresh figs when in season.
Serves 4 - 5
2 punnets rocket leaves
6 preserved whole green figs cut into quarters
200g very finely sliced (paper thin) beef biltong,
semi-dry
125g wedge of creamy blue cheese
Ina Paarman's Blue Cheese Dressing
Line a large platter or 6 medium size plates with
rocket leaves. Dot fig wedges here and there on
leaves. Scatter the finely sliced biltong over the
salad. Crumble over the blue cheese.
Shake the Dressing well and drizzle over the salad
just before serving.
VARIATIONS
In place of biltong use crispy bacon pieces or for vegetarians use our Sundried Tomato Quarters in Vinaigrette.
If you don't like blue cheese, replace it with feta and
dress the salad with Ina's Feta and Garlic Dressing.
