The sweet-and-savory combination of the figs and earthy goat cheese will surely satisfy the palate. If you can't find dried figs, try swapping in dried apricots.

I made an account just to say that I am currently living off this salad. I'm finishing my degree with now and am knees deep in thesis papers and my own tears. This salad consists of 99.9999% of my will to live. Whoever created this, godspeed and may your pillow always be cool and refreshing when you flip it over.

Great recipe to throw together an awesome salad! I don't use figs much but they complimented the goat cheese so well. My advice, cut down the amount of dressing with 2 cups of mixed greens. I had a lot accumulate at the bottom of my bowl by the time I was done. My husband prefers a lot of dressing on his salad so, it was perfect for him. The next time around, I just added another cup of mixed greens and it was perfect to my taste.
