Autumnal honey fig salad

Fig season is in full swing and I am making the most of it! These little fruits of sunshine are just so delicious in a salad and perfect when you still fancy a fresh salad in the colder autumn days. I just love the unique sweet taste, soft and chewy texture and slightly crunchy seeds inside of a fig. Not only do they taste amazing they are also high in vitamin A and K, minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper and are a good source of antioxidants.
They also contain an amazing amount of soluble fibre, making them perfect to eat when you struggle with digestive issues or constipation.

So now that you know how good they are for you would you like to give this recipe a go.

Here is how you make it.
