Fig and Kale Salad
with lentils / avocados / havarti / lemon adobo dressing

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
Figs are hard to find out of season, so we love to highlight them when the season hits. This simple entree salad lets the flavor and texture of ripe figs really shine.
Smarts: If figs are not in season where you are, halved grapes make an excellent sub.
