Preparation

Get these tasks done before you start cooking.

Preparing the Balsamic Glaze

1
Combine Vinegar and Honey
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey.
2
Bring to a Boil
Bring to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
3
Simmer Reduction
Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture is reduced by half.
Tip: Don't over-reduce the glaze, it will thicken as it cools.

Assembling the Salad

1
Roast the Figs
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the fig halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for 15 minutes.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large salad bowl, combine arugula, toasted walnuts, and torn Burrata.
3
Add Figs and Dressing
Add the roasted figs to the bowl and drizzle with dressing and balsamic glaze.
Tip: For added flavor, toss the roasted figs in a little balsamic glaze before adding to the salad.
