    • The most simple fig salad
    • 3 ingredients
    • Easy 5 minutes recipe

    📋 Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

    ingredients for fig salad
    • Figs: Use fresh, which is red, and the bottom is cracked.
    • Green leafy vegetables: Lettuce, arugula, spinach etc. Pick your favorite one. If the green leafy vegetables are not so fresh, put them in a bowl of water, let them soak plenty of water, and they will be lively and crunchy.
    • Salt: Use delicious flake sea salt. Maldon Sea Salt is a good one.

    🔪Instructions

    Ok, let me walk you through how to make it step by step.

    2. Place green leafy vegetables on the plate and place the figs.

    You're done! It’s so easy, isn't it? The salt brings all the sweetness from these figs and they are just delicious.

    The skin of the fig is not for everyone, so please peel them off if you don't want to eat it.

    Variations

    This recipe is very simple, so if you want more try adding one or two other ingredients. Here's what I like:

    • Cream cheese
    • Mozzarella cheese

    • Grapes
    • Berries
    • Nuts

    The time of year for figs is around August-September, so this salad can be special only in this period. It pairs well as either a lunch or dinner side dish, so try them out and enjoy!

      Hello Juri
      Figs are my favorite fruit, when I was a kid in Portugal we had a fig tree that produced figs the size of pears, they were so sweet. I finally found some fresh figs and I bought flaked salt and made your fig salad, it was delicious and brought back great memories.
      Thank you

        Hi Eurico, thanks for trying my favorite fig salad and sharing your childhood memory. Size of pears? that must be so yummy! This is a super simple salad, but I think it's the best way to enjoy the sweet and fruity fresh fig. I'm so glad you like it!
