Fresh Fig Green Salad

 I had this salad at my sister's house.  I've never had figs in a salad before.  They are so beautiful!  This is a great salad to break away from usual routine!

Fresh Figs, sliced
Fresh Greens (I like to use the mixed greens from Costco)
fresh basil, chopped
diced red onion
goat cheese
optional fruit (blueberries, raisins, chopped apple, pears, grapes)
pistachios (or slivered toasted almonds)

Honey Mustard Dressing:
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 c. light olive oil
2 TBS dijon mustard
3 TBS honey
3 TBS red wine vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

European Muesli

This is a simple fantastic breakfast. 

This is similar in concept to the recipe COLD OATMEAL, 

but it has a creamy European flare!  

Like any oatmeal, you can really top it with any fresh or dried fruit, nuts, 

shredded coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. 

 I make a large batch of the oatmeal base and it just sits in my fridge ready to go.  

I often have the batch last for 3 weeks in the fridge!
