Figs are such a versatile fruit as you can choose to have sweet or savoury toppings.  Our sweet favourites are honey, maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon and caramel. All of which can be incorporated into a fig salad recipe, not just desserts. Dairy is a fig’s best friend, especially the likes of creme fraiche, labneh feta cheese and even blue cheese to counteract the sweetness.  The sweet and salty combination is favourable, while bitter and aniseed flavours provide excellent contrast. Salad leaves such as arugula and watercress are very popular combinations.
