Roasted Fig and Goats Cheese Salad
This fig and goats cheese salad sounds like a summer salad, but the warmth of the figs and the sweetness of the ingredients makes this a great one to serve alongside a heartier meal, or as a starter. Cinnamon is an unexpected flavour in this dressing and adds that extra kick to the taste! Such an easy recipe that makes your kitchen smell delicious as the figs bake.
