Salad with figs and cherry tomatoes
2 servings
15 minutes
Fig and cherry tomato salad is the embodiment of freshness and sophistication. Fig, a symbol of ancient abundance, fills the dish with sweet honey notes that pair wonderfully with juicy cherry tomatoes. The mix of lolo rosso lettuce, arugula, and radicchio gives the salad a crunchy texture and a slight bitterness. Walnuts add richness while pomegranate seeds provide a tangy zest. The dressing made from orange and lemon juice with olive oil and cilantro unites the flavors into a harmonious balance. It’s the perfect dish for a light lunch or festive table; it refreshes and satisfies at the same time. Served immediately after preparation to preserve all the flavors and aromas.
