Ingredients

  • 1 small head radicchio lettuce
  • ½ small head bronze mignonette lettuce
  • 2 bunches rocket, leaves picked
  • 6 ripe figs, quartered
  • 150 g log goats' cheese
  • good quality olive oil, to drizzle
  • salt and black pepper
Caramelised balsamic
  • 1 cup good quality aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1-2 tbsp brown sugar
Cooling time: 20 minutes

Instructions

  1. For the caramelised balsamic, combine the balsamic vinegar with the brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer on medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until the vinegar has reduced by half. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Allow to cool completely before using.
  2. For the salad, arrange the radicchio, mignonette lettuce and rocket leaves in a large serving bowl. Just before serving, drizzle the salad with olive oil and the caramelised balsamic vinegar. Crumble over the goats' cheese and season with salt and black pepper.
