We had an early Thanksgiving last night and I made this salad! It was delicious! We loved the mix of sweet and sour - figs and grapefruit. I found that I didn't have raw almonds so I toasted walnuts and it was a good substitute. I couldn't find the soft goat cheese so we substituted feta (cows milk). This is a wonderful holiday salad.
