INGREDIENTS

5 T Olive oil
1 T Fresh lemon juice
1/2 t Garlic, minced
1/4 t Honey
1/8 t Freshly ground black pepper
8 Figs
1 lb Fresh spinach, stemmed and
washed
1 Yellow bell pepper
julienned
1/2 c Red onion, julienned
1/4 c Feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 c Pecan pieces, toasted

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine 4 T olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey, and black pepper  to
make the dressing; set aside.  Cut figs in half lengthwise, rub with
remaining olive oil. Grill skin  side up over medium hot fire 2-3
minutes.  Toss spinach, bell peppers, and onion with dressing. Split
onto 4  plates. Sprinkle each salad with feta and pecans. Place 4
pieces of  fig on each plate and serve.  When figs are grilled, the
sugars on their surface become caramelized,  making the sweet flavors
more accessible to the palate by warming  them. The crunch of toasted
pecans balances the creaminess of feta.  Nutritional information per
