Fig and Mixed Green Salad

This is a simple salad, using figs from my garden and salad greens and tomatoes from my farm. My little fig tree that is about 5 years old, produced weeks of amazing figs and saved us money buying them. If you live in a region that gets colder winters its good to plant a fig tree close to your house so it gets a little micro climate. 

Ingredients:

for one plate-

• 1-2 figs sliced
• a generous handful of mixed salad greens, my mix has arugula, lettuce, spinach, mizuna and pea shoots.
• one small tomato sliced
• a few slices of cucumber
• a dash of balsamic vinegar 
• a dash of extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• a few pieces of feta cheese

Method:

1. chop all of the salad ingredients
2. add to the plate arrange, drizzle with oil and vinegar and add feta
3. enjoy

Aren't simple in season salads the best?
