Green Fig Salad

To reduce its mass, I toast the baby spinach in the toaster oven for about 2-3 minutes (this step is optional). That way the spinach is cooked and less bulky. Peel the green fig aka banana and put them in a pot of water to boil.

When the figs are cooked, remove from the water and place in a bowl to cool. When the figs are cool, thinly slice them.

I bought some turkey breast from the grocery store and found it to be very salty so I emptied all the boxes of the turkey breast into a bowl and poured some hot water of the meat. After about 10 minutes, I threw out the water. I repeated these steps twice. I then put the turkey breast in the toaster to dry up the excess moisture.

In a mixing bowl, add the toasted baby spinach, grape tomatoes (I love these, could just easily pop one in my mouth), turkey breast and sliced figs, mix everything together. Add salt and pepper sauce as desired.

Chef's Note & Story

Ripe plantain can be used instead of the green figs. The plantains give the salad great color!
