It’s not about the number of steps or ingredients in a dish. If you shop smart, buying peak-season produce and quality protein, you don’t have to do much at all (like with this easy salad recipe).

Servings: 4


Ingredients

  • 8 ounces buffalo mozzarella or fresh mozzarella
  • 8 ounces ripe fresh figs, cut into quarters
  • Torn basil leaves (for serving)
  • Coarsely ground black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Olive oil (for drizzling)

Preparation

Tear mozzarella into medium pieces and arrange on a platter. Tuck figs around cheese and scatter basil over top. Season with pepper and lots of salt. Drizzle generously with oil.
