FICO FRESCO

I made this delicious Arugula Salad the other day with some of the freshest figs I found in a long time. Figs flourish in the Mediterranean and warm climates like Hawaii and California and have been worshipped and cherished throughout the ages. That doesn�t mean you have to worship this salad. Just enjoy it.

Arugula is a aromatic salad green with a nice nutty, peppery flavor and is used in many Italian and Mediterranean dishes including soups or saut�ed and served with meat, poultry or fish. The combination of the arugula with the figs and walnuts are perfectly refreshing.

This Arugula Salad is similar to the one I had at Biaggi�s Ristorante early this week. It was light and savory and complemented the entr�e quite nicely.

Enjoy!
