For everyone in the USA, I must first say HAPPY LABOR DAY! I hope you are enjoying the day with family and friends.
Now we’ll get to a new recipe. Fresh figs are typically in season from July through October. Pick figs that are ripe. The skin is full of color. The fruit is soft, but not mushy. Today’s easy fig salad recipe is very verstile, Arugula & Fig Salad.
This is such an easy yet elegant salad. Start with arugula, add fresh figs, grated parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. Mix honey and balsamic vinegar to drizzle over the salad. The spiciness of the argula paired with the sweetness of the figs and honey is wonderful, and the balsamic flavor ties it all nicely together!

I will definitely be trying this recipe as I love arugula! I saw fresh figs in the store last week so I’m excited to add these to the salad! Thanks for sharing!
Have a great week!
Such a classic! Bitter peppery arugula, earthy pine nuts and sweet mellow figs…absolutely amazing!
Oh, you are so sweet and kind with your words. Thank you.
…Carol, I’ve never had fresh figs!
give them a try!
Happy Labor Day to you! I hope you are having a lovely day!
Figs are something I never eat, not because I don’t like them but because I just don’t think of them.
This looks and sounds so good and I learned the other week that over here in the UK we call Arugula Rocket.
Oh, I remember now and hopefully will remember for future posts to add Rocket to an arugula post.Thanks Kim!
