I bought fresh black figs from Trader Joe’s this week and went online looking for some ideas for new ways to use them. The answer came in this recipe inspired by this blog post Roasted Kale, Fig & Avocado Salad. It is the perfect blend of sweet and savory… If you do not have baby kale, you can always used massaged kale in this salad.
