How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat broiler.

  • Step 5: Broil figs, cheese side up on broiler rack about 3 inches from heat, turning frequently until bacon is browned (2 minutes); cool slightly and then discard toothpicks.

  • Step 6: Toss the salad greens with lemon juice, salt and pepper; toss with olive oil.

  • Step 7: Serve figs over the salad greens.
