Ingredients:

Serving

18 dried mission figs
1 (16-oz.) bottle pomegranate juice (2 cups)
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
9 cups mesclun salad greens
2 oz blue cheese, crumbled

Directions:

Place figs and pomegranate juice in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes or until figs are softened. Remove figs with a slotted spoon; set aside.
Bring pomegranate juice to a boil over medium-high heat; boil 2 minutes or until syrupy and reduced to 1/3 cup. Transfer reduction to a bowl; let cool to room temperature.
Add honey and next 3 ingredients to pomegranate reduction; stir with a wire whisk. Gradually whisk in oil.
To serve, divide mesclun greens among 6 serving plates; top each salad with 3 figs. Drizzle evenly with vinaigrette, and sprinkle with blue cheese. Serve immediately.
Make-Ahead Note: Cooked figs and vinaigrette can be stored in refrigerator up to 2 days.
