Fig & Beet Salad

October 3, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Good morning! Can you believe it is October? I am in awe at how fast this year is going. We had our first taste of Fall weather this weekend and today I woke up to the low 50’s. I am not complaining because I love it. The cool mornings are my favorite time to take longs walks with my pups.

I have been making a lot of salads lately and this week was no exception, I made an easy and delicious roasted fig and beet salad with pecans, blue cheese, cabbage. and a sprinkling of carrots. 

Fig & Beet Salad

4 roasted beets

1 lb. rinsed mixed salad greens

1/3 cup feta or blue cheese

1/2 cup toasted pecans

1/4 cup chopped purple cabbage

1/8 cup matchstick carrots

3-5 roasted figs

On a plate place the greens and then layer the beets, figs, cheese, cabbage, carrots, and pecans. Lightly dress with vinaigrette and enjoy.

Fall Vinaigrette

5 Tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

11/2 Tablespoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper

Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake well. Or mix in a bowl until the ingredients come together

Are you a fan of salad? Do you typically have a plan or just throw whatever you have in the fridge onto the salad? I love most any salad that has blue cheese, pecans, and cranberries but I do not like mushrooms, green peppers, green beans or peas. 

As for dressing I love vinaigrette of any kind and ranch as well. The ranch I rarely eat but when I do I always mix it with a little vinaigrette. 

Please share your Fall salad recipes as well as your favorite dressings. 

Have a wonderful week.

    A savory-sweet combination like the one you do here is a favorite of ours. My husband, especially makes carefully arranged salads–salades composées–using fruit like nectarines that have bruises and that everybody leaves in the fridge in favor of the perfect specimens. He just cuts off the bruises and lays out slices.
    Personally, I go for chopped salads, with lots of ingredients, all cut to small dice and mixed together.

    I've never tried figs, so I have no idea how they taste.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
