Grilled Fig Salad

Directions

1. 1
   Snip the tiny stem end off each fig and cut in half lengthwise.
2. 2
   Mix vinegar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
3. 3
   Add the figs and gently toss to coat.
4. 4
   Let sit while you heat a grill (indoor or outdoor).
5. 5
   If necessary, coat your grill with a little olive oil.
6. 6
   When ready, grill the figs (reserving all of the marinade in the bowl) for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until grill marks appear -- don't overcook as the figs will become too mushy. Remove figs to a plate.
7. 7
   To the reserved marinade, add olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper, whisking well to completely incorporate.
8. 8
   Place greens in a large salad bowl; toss with dressing, then mound equal amounts on 4 individual serving plates.
9. 9
   Place 2 fig halves decoratively over each plate of greens and serve.
