Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toast the 2 slices bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Cut into cubes and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Wash and dry the 4 cups mixed greens. Slice the 4 figs into quarters, the 1 cucumber into half-moons, and the 1 carrot into ribbons using a peeler.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the greens, cucumber, carrot, and 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved). Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Crumble the 4 oz goat cheese over the salad and add the toasted bread cubes. Gently toss to distribute.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve immediately. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar if you have it.

  6. Step 6

    Divide the salad between two plates and enjoy.
