Are you seeing fresh figs in the stores and at Farmer’s markets? They are in season and we are getting some amazing local organic figs right now. I also love figs because they are a fruit with more glucose than fructose and fresh figs aren’t super high in sugar. As you may noticed by looking at my salad recipes, I love the combination of sweet fruit, crunchy nut and peppery green with a tangy dressing. This is another variation, and one that my whole family is really enjoying these days. This salad is delicious with any peppery green; arugula or mustard greens work really well. This will make enough dressing for 3-6 side salad. The directions for the salad below is per person.
