Fig & goat cheese salad

Sweet summer salad

I’ve discovered fresh figs while living in Paris -before that, I had never tried them fresh, only dried. The fig is believed to come from Western Asia and to have been distributed later throughout the Mediterranean area. It is a rather sweet fruit with a tough peel and a jelly-like flesh. I like eating fresh figs alone, but the best combination I’ve discovered is a fig & goat cheese salad – a sweet & salty combination and a perfect starter for a summer dinner.
