Goat cheese, fig, and argan spread
Quinoa salad with pecans and cranberries
Goat cheese, fig, and argan spread
Argan oil has an unusual flavor--nutty, with overtones of caramel and citrus--as well as unique health benefits. If you can't find it locally, you can order it online at www.larganeoil.com or by calling 919-961-3270.
4 ounces reduced fat goat cheese
2 ounces black mission figs (about 6), finely chopped
1 tablespoon argan oil
2 teaspoons honey
3/4 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
Combine all ingredients and stir briskly with a wooden spoon (or beat at low speed in electric mixer) until well combined and fluffy. Serve with apple slices, crackers, or Belgian endive leaves. Makes about 3/4 cup.
