Share A Recipe !


 


Doesn't that salad look absolutely divine? Beautiful colors and healthy ingredients. I came across this wonderful bottle of Fig Balsamic Vinegar Reduction! And Alta Cucina was so nice as to provide me with a photo of a meal she had recently made with this very same vinegar reduction!

No preservatives, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors! 100% Delicious And Healthy :-)

I just had to share this with all of you :-) So let's take a brief journey to Italy for your next meal! See below recipe for some homemade goodness special courtesy of Alta Cucina from our very own SPS Team :


RECIPE:

Arugula Salad with Figs, Feta Cheese, Walnuts and A&A Fig Balsamic Reduction

 Ingredients:

4 cups baby arugula
6 fresh figs, washed and quartered
3 oz diced feta cheese
1/3 cup walnuts
1/4 cup A&A Fig Balsamic Glaze

The salad recipe is really simple!

Arrange arugula in a salad bowl, top with feta cheese, figs, walnuts and drizzle the Balsamic.

Tips: This salad can be served as many times as you'd like, with some small changes:
Cheese: Try it with goat cheese or with gorgonzola instead of the feta. Any of these cheeses would pair wonderfully with the figs!
Nuts: Try it with sliced almonds instead of walnuts.
Salad: Change the Arugula with some baby spinach!!

Buon APETITO!!!



This delicious and healthy recipe was shared with us by Alta Cucina . And she even provided us with so many ideas for variations to the salad. Awesome!!! Look at the beautiful packaging. These would make fabulous gifts for your friends and family! :-)

"SO funny! I am still giggling!"

From the Movie Critic: I found this mini movie about an obsessive knitter on Joyas Textiles Facebook page. An Etsy shop FB fan page with posts on Textile jewelry, yarn, knitting etc. This mini movie is ironic, critic and fun, just perfect for crafties and obsessive people! Enjoy it!!!!!! It's just fantastic!
