At this time of year with friends and family dropping by it is great to have a very simple salad recipe on hand that looks pretty, tastes delicious and is easy to make. Our fig salad is exactly that, it can be prepared in no time but still looks like you have gone to a little effort.
We like to use fresh figs in this recipe however you can also grill them by brushing with a little olive oil and grilling on both sides until they are browned and slightly soft.
