Thanks for Stopping By!

The time of year for figs is around August-September, so this simple but elegant salad can be consumed only during mid to late summer. Figs are a nutrient-dense food and a good source of both calcium and potassium.

Whether you’re planning a light lunch or a dinner party, this healthy dish is an excellent option as a side dish…so try it out and enjoy it!
