You could also throw in some salted nuts.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798295696444126099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129992945642771365.post-65581757438606313692009-09-09T00:24:11.387-07:002009-09-09T00:24:11.387-07:00P.S.

Your salad looks divine! <br /><br />Tara -- maybe try shavings of parmesan instead of the ham... Or, feta cheese for that sweet-salty combination.

My husband who is Turkish won't eat them, but his father can't get enough. Now when I see them, I start to salivate. I prefer them plain and simple, but I can't eat them unless I peel them. I buy them in small quantities so they don't get furry and don't Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707473559945628750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129992945642771365.post-37517016882226468802009-09-03T23:34:06.710-07:002009-09-03T23:34:06.710-07:00I agree with Linda....love that beauty in the sala...I agree with Linda....love that beauty in the salad. I just don't get the fresh figs here....well...not unless I want to pay the price. Seems that, although people DO grow them with success here...even in their backyards, the ones that are not eaten by squirrels or raccoons are treasured and horded by owners....not too willing to share. Can't say I blame them!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953079867758399259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129992945642771365.post-34845481974715784972009-09-03T18:51:00.773-07:002009-09-03T18:51:00.773-07:00How beautiful this salad looks.
