SPINACH SALAD WITH FIGS (a 1 banana difficulty level)

Recently we had dinner at Hedary's in Fort Worth.  Ok, so we had a groupon to use, so we found ourselves there some random weekday night.  As we walked in, they had written on their board, "10 Figs for $1.50."  Sounded like a good deal, so I asked the server about them.  Turns out they were figs from the owner's own garden.  My eyes lit up.  We ordered 10 as an appetizer.  They were good & I asked how many more they had.  One hour later, we're leaving with a bag of 40 figs & our leftovers.

I guess we'll continue with our Summer Spinach Salad Series.  It's a good way to utilize figs & the leftover feta cheese from our dinner.  Plus it's simple & delicious or simply delicious if you prefer.  Without further adieu, 'anymonkeycan' make a Spinach Salad with Figs & Feta Cheese!

WHAT YOU NEED:
