Seasonality and freshness

This salad is perfect for late summer and early fall, when figs are at their peak season and at their best. Using fresh seasonal figs in the recipe ensures maximum flavor and texture, while the burrata adds a delicious creaminess that perfectly complements the sweetness of the fruit.

Ease of preparation

Despite its sophisticated combination of flavors, this salad is very easy to prepare, making it an ideal dish for guests or for special occasions. It only takes a few ingredients, but the resulting effect is very impressive and suitable as an appetizer for a festive meal.

Fig dressing

Fig dressing combines the pleasant sweetness of figs with the acidity of balsamic vinegar and citrus. Maple syrup adds a deep sweet note, while olive oil contributes to a smooth and silky texture. This dressing creates an ideal contrast to the crunchy walnuts and the delicate flavor of the fennel.

Fig dressing ingredients:

  • Fresh figs: They give the dressing a sweetness and a soft texture that goes perfectly with the salad.
  • Balsamic vinegar: Brings a sour and slightly sweet flavor that contrasts with the sweetness of the figs and balances the rich creaminess of the burrata.
  • With or Maple syrup: Enhances the natural sweetness of figs and adds a subtle caramel touch.
  • Olive oil: Combines all the ingredients into a creamy consistency and softens the overall flavor of the dressing.
  • Lemon juice: Adds a refreshing acidity that enlivens the flavor of the salad and balances the sweetness of the dressing.
  • Salt and black pepper: They season the dressing and add a subtle spiciness.
