Take advantage of the end of berry season and enjoy this salad with figs! I have had many salads this summer but this one was extra special. The flavors of the blackberries and figs with the delightful butter lettuce and tomato are amazing. Add cucumber, green onion and cilantro and it’s perfection. I recommend pairing this with a balsamic vinaigrette. Add hummus, feta or roasted chicken and make it a meal.
