Spinach & Figs Refreshing Salad
Figs are finally in season! 🙂 We decided to make a very interesting combination of greens and fruits to create a delicious salad. Even if you are not a fan of salads, you’ll be amazed by our Spinach Figs Refreshing Salad.
As the title says, this salad contains spinach and figs, but besides that, we added apples and rocket salad. We used very simple maple syrup/honey – lemon dressing, that contain only two ingredients. For the final touch, we added some chopped walnuts for some extra crunchiness. Almonds are a good option too if you don’t have walnuts.
Combination of these ingredients might look a bit strange but, believe us, this salad was gone in less than 5 minutes :). It’s super delicious and can be a great healthy snack alternative or aside dish.
This recipe is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Let us know if you like it! 🙂
As you might have noticed we are posting a lot of salad recipes lately. It’s summer and we like to make things simple and easy, and not to spend a lot of time in the kitchen if we don’t need to :). Some of our favorite light salads we recommend you are definitely Refreshing Green Salad, Quick Mozzarella, Cherry Tomato, & Rocket Salad, and Summer Fruit Salad.
