Fig, Walnut, and Goat Cheese Tartine

SweatTheStyle_CattyBoomBatty_FigTartineA seasonal sweet and savory tartine makes a great snack or side for a salad. This one in particular has a combination of flavors and textures that will automatically question whether you should feel guilty about eating this. Chef Catty Boom Batty specializes in tartines and after a trip to the farmers market she decided to make some with figs, which are in season. Figs are part of the mulberry family and have a wealth of nutrition like fiber, magnesium, vitamin B, potassium, and more. They’re sweet, have a soft consistency, and lots of seeds that provide a little crunch. Then of course there’s bread and cheese used to make this tartine, but if you source the best quality of both it will only be delicious, nutritious, and satisfying.

All the ingredients, besides the cheese, are from the farmers market. The more you expose yourself to the best quality ingredients, the less you will crave the artificial stuff, which will eventually lead you to making healthier choices for taste rather than for a diet. This is an easy to assemble dish that will impress even the most sophisticated foodie!
