To prep for the salad, wash and dry the rocket leaves. Wash, dry and halve the figs. If using large figs you can quarter them. Roast the nuts you are using. I love cashews and walnuts. Almonds or pecans also work fine.
In a serving plate, arrange the rocket leaves. Place figs on top. Sprinkle toasted cashews and crumble goat cheese on top.
Prepare the dressing by adding together extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt and pepper. Beat it well or shake in a jar.
Pour the dressing generously all over the salad and serve. Your tasty fig, rocket and goat cheese salad is ready to serve.
Enjoy.

1. This salad needs ripe and fresh figs as the star of the salad.

2. Adjust the dressing to suit your taste. Balance out the sweet, sour and savory well.

3. You can substitute the nuts as per taste. You can also add berries or peaches to the salad. You can use goat’s cheese in place of feta.

4. The salad cannot be stored much after it has been dressed. You can prepare and keep the other ingredients and dress the salad just before serving.
