Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh figs, chopped

2 cups mixed greens (including spinach, arugula, and kale)

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

½ ripe avocado, sliced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the figs: Rinse the fresh figs under cool water, gently pat them dry with a paper towel, and remove the stems. Cut the figs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl to retain their freshness.

    Create the salad base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens. Gently toss the leaves together to create a fluffy base, ensuring they are well-distributed.

      Add the toppings: Carefully layer the chopped figs, crumbled feta cheese, walnuts, avocado slices, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes over the mixed greens, creating a colorful and appetizing display.

        Dress the salad: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and olive oil until emulsified. Season the dressing with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and use a light hand to toss gently, being mindful not to bruise the greens.

          Garnish and serve: For an additional layer of flavor, scatter a few fresh mint leaves over the top for a refreshing twist. Serve the salad immediately for the best taste and texture, and enjoy your nutritious and delightful Fig-tastic Salad Bowl!
