Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad with Fig Vinaigrette is a fresh salad where flavour and texture matter more than complicated cooking. A richer salad with figs, prosciutto and creamy goat cheese. It works well as a light lunch, a colourful side dish or part of a relaxed summer meal.

Why does this salad work so well?

Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad with Fig Vinaigrette works because it balances freshness, creaminess and texture. The ingredients give the salad enough contrast to feel like a proper dish rather than a loose mix of leaves. Taste the dressing just before serving, especially when fruit, goat cheese, nuts or tender greens are involved, because the sweet-sour balance makes a big difference.
