Step by Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the fig preserves, vinegar, ground mustard, salt and pepper, and marjoram. Slowly whisk in olive oil until the dressing has emulsified (the ground mustard helps with this).
  2. Toss together all of your greens and fresh herbs in a large bowl, tearing larger leaves if you like smaller bites like I do. :)
