Fig, Goat's Cheese & Herb Salad
This is what happens when you put a few complementary ingredients together, dress them simply and don’t complicate matters. The three sizes of herb leaves bring different impact, with the parsley as much a salad leaf as it is a herb. As good on a sunny day as it is by the fire with a glass of red.
