Method

Snip the tiny stem end off each fig and cut in half lengthwise.


Mix vinegar, brown sugar and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.


Add figs and gently toss to coat. Set aside.


Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking, oiling the grill grates as needed.


Grill the figs, reserving all of the marinade in the bowl, for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until grill marks appear. Do not overcook as the figs will become too mushy. Transfer to a plate.


To the reserved marinade, add olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper, whisking well to completely incorporate.


Place greens in a large salad bowl.


Toss with dressing, then divide among 4 individual serving plates.


Place 2 fig halves on each plate of greens and serve.
