FOR THE DRESSING:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey, divided
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar, divided
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

8 large or 12 small fresh figs

5 to 6 cups , loosely packed baby arugula
2 to 3 ounces dry Monterey Jack cheese or aged Asiago

TO MAKE THE DRESSING: In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the honey, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, and the salt and pepper.

Trim the stems of the figs and halve lengthwise. Arrange the figs, cut side up, on a platter. In a small bowl whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey and remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar until completely blended. Lightly brush the cut side of the figs with the mixture.

Grill the figs, cut side down, over Direct High heat until warm and lightly caramelized, about 2 minutes, turning with a spatula once halfway through grilling time. Set aside.

Place the arugula in a large bowl. Whisk the dressing one more time and lightly dress the greens (you may not need to use all of the dressing). Divide the arugula among four plates. Arrange the warm grilled figs, cut side up, around the edges of the salad, dividing them evenly. Curl the cheese with a cheese plane or vegetable peeler. Garnish each salad with curls of cheese. Serve immediately.
