MEDITERRANEAN SALAD SIDES

Fig, Rocket & Goats Cheese Salad

Good figs are available for such a brief flash of time here in Australia, I’ll make any excuse to squeeze these divine fruits into as many dishes as possible while they’re available. This fig salad is remarkably simple but is well-loved every time I serve it.

Peppery rocket with ripe figs, soft goat’s cheese and crunchy toasted walnuts in a sticky, tart pomegranate vinaigrette- it tastes sublime served with roasted lamb or beef, or makes for a sophisticated starter if you’re entertaining.
