I think this was from a 90s CD called Williams-Sonoma Guide to Good Cooking

Unfortunately I can’t access that disk anymore, so I am trying to recreate this from memory.

• 8 red figs
• 125g rocket/arugula
• 85ml EVOO (1/3 cup)
• Salt and Cayenne pepper to taste (about 1 tsp each)
• 170g of fresh goats cheese crumbled

Place the figs in a paper bag and refrigerate for 2 hours (this makes them easier to cut).

Arrange the arugula on a serving platter. 

In a small bowl, stir together the oil and salt and cayenne pepper to taste until well mixed.

Cut the unpeeled figs crosswise into thin slices and arrange atop the arugula. Scatter the cheese over the figs.

Stir the dressing again, pour it over the salad and serve.
