Notes

Tip
You can toss this salad together in less than five minutes.
Tip
Don’t dress this salad until the very last minute because you want all the flavours of the salad ingredients to be fresh and distinguishable.
Variation
Sometimes I like to crumble a little goats cheese over this salad too – the combination of goats chees and fressh figs is a match made in heaven.
