Figs, Hearts-of-Palm and Arugula Salad

This salad has just enough sweetness to break the bitterness of the arugula. Perfect for spring!

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 ½ cups packed arugula
• 2 figs, sliced lengthwise
• ½ cup hearts-of-palm, sliced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
•  Extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup shaved parmesan

Directions:

Place balsamic vinegar in a small sauce pan and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it is reduced to about ¼ cup, 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in honey. Set aside and let it cool.

Arrange the arugula in individual plates, top with the figs and hearts-of-palm. Season with salt and pepper.  Drizzle with olive oil and the balsamic vinegar reduction. Top with shaved parmesan and serve it immediately.
