Fig, Arugula, and Goat Cheese Salad

Fresh figs and goat cheese pair well together, especially with spicy arugula and a tart balsamic vinaigrette! Figs grow here in the Pacific Northwest quite easily and need to be used soon after harvest. I like to make fresh salads with the fig harvest, and, to preserve them, I make fig popsicles and fig jam! Enjoy this salad with grilled balsamic chicken breasts for a balanced late summer meal.
