I really look forward to fig season every year at around this time. Something about only eating a fruit for a short time each year makes it feel a lot more special. This is a very simple ‘throw it all together’ salad because in reality the figs do all the work with how delicious they are. Its one of my favourite light lunches with some bread if I need a bit more substance, and tricks me into feeling like its still summer time! I hope you enjoy.

I use a bag of salad Called bistro salad here in the UK, it has tender green leaves and thin sticks of beetroot and I love it. This can be replaced for spinach, rocket or any other type of salad.
