1
Prepare the Quinoa
Rinse 1/2 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
2
Roast the Apple
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the apple and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from oven and let cool.
3
Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine spinach and arugula. Add the cooked quinoa, roasted apple, quartered blonde figs, chopped spicy walnuts, and crumbled chevre cheese.
4
Dress the Salad
Drizzle with pear balsamic dressing to taste and toss gently to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately.
