    Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat 3–4 minutes, stirring, until they turn lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool.
    ⚙ Dry-Pan ToastingStoveFrying pan
    💡Toast over medium heat and keep things moving: nuts, pine nuts and spices go from toasted to burnt in seconds. Transfer to a plate right away, since the hot pan keeps toasting.
  2. 3
    Arrange the leaves on a serving plate.
  3. 4
    Arrange on top the figs.
  4. 5
    Sprinkle the cheese and nuts on top.
  5. 6
    Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
    💡The dressing goes on only just before serving: dressed green leaves wilt within minutes.
