Beetroot, roast figs, walnut and feta. A wonderful sweet, Summer salad. Perfectly ripe figs are squishy, sticky and very sweet. Many supermarket figs are picked when under-ripe for ease of transportation, leaving them firm and less flavoursome. Ours are picked as close to full ripeness as possible; the outstanding taste is worth the extra effort. If eating raw, take them out of the fridge about 30 mins beforehand. They reveal their flavour and perfume a lot better at room temperature.
