fig salad

The figs are ripe, the peaches - plump and juicy - are falling from trees and Muscat grapes sweetened by the sun are tempting all the birds. Oh the glory of a Languedoc garden! For lunch today I was inspired by a recipe for a salad with rocket, fresh figs, parmesan shavings and parma ham...  But upon looking in the fridge I came up with a regional conversion - lettuce leaves and fresh figs with roquefort crumbled over and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. A lovely cold beer on the side. Perfect!
