"Replicated from a recipe in Clayton Ga restaurant (best I could)."

• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 4 figs, chopped

directions

1. Slightly roast or soften garlic first, otherwise too bitter.

I love this fruity dressing. It is thick, more like jam consistency, as the recipe indicates. I had to add way more balsamico to make it useable on salad and to give it that tang a dressing requires. But after that, most delicious on all kinds of salads or even just plain salad or rucola leaves! Next time I will just use less dates, figs and currants, like half of the amount and then add balsamico as I go.
