Grilled Figs and Butter Lettuce with Honey Yogurt Dressing
Serves 4
Figs are often served with yogurt and honey as a dessert. For this salad recipe, yogurt and honey come together in a tangy dressing for sweet summer leaves. The figs are grilled quickly on the barbecue for an extra bit of charred flavour.

Arrange figs over lettuce and dress with yogurt dressing.
