Ingredients
    TOASTS
    1/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola (about 1.5 oz)
    1 tablespoon butter, softened
    8 slices bread (said 1-oz slices of peasant bread on recipe card?)
    GRILLED FIGS
    12 fresh figs, halved
    cooking spray (the olive oil kind)
    SALAD
    3 cups Baby Spinach
    3 cups arugula
    8 boston lettuce leaves
    2 tablespoons chopped green onions (I guess this is 1 or 2 green onions)
    DRESSING
    2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preparation
    Preheat the grill.
    To make the FIGS: Thread 4 fig halves lengthwise on each skewer, coat the figs with cooking spray.
    Place fig kabobs on the grill rack and and grill 4 minutes on each side. Let cool a little bit then remove from the skewers.
    To make the SALAD DRESSING: Combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
    SALAD: Mix the spinach and arugula in a large bowl.
    Add the dresing, toss gently to coat.
    Divide the mixture evently among 8 serving plates, then top with the figs and Boston lettuce leaves, sprinkle with green onions.
    TOASTS: Combine the cheese and butter in a small bowl, stir until well-blended.
    Grill the bread slices 5 minutes on each side or until golden, let cool.
    Spread 1 tsp cheese mixture on each slide and serve with each salad.
    1 serving = 1 cup salad, 1 lettuce leaf, 3 fig halves, and 1 gorgonzola toast.
