The combination of dried figs, tomatoes, red onions, and honey vinaigrette gives this salsa a very pleasant slightly sweet tang that pairs perfectly with roasted meat or seafood.

- To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- To make the salsa, place diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, fig and parsley in a large bowl. Pour in the dressing and gently mix until combined, then taste and adjust seasonings. Store the salsa in the fridge until ready for use.

Delightful! That combo is very original.
Cheers,

How lovely! What an interesting combination of flavors. Love the addition of the dried figs. Awesome!
Wowo i have never tried this combo, but i can imagine how good it will be.
I love to eat dried figs. I would love this one. I can even eat it without the roast :D
Wow this looks so delicious and refreshing! Never seen salsa like this before, it sounds fantastic! You always come up with the best ideas :D.
I saw your comment that my cajun chicken potato photo was not coming up. I haven't been blogging for very long so I have no idea why that happened. Is this the first time my photo doesn't show? It happens with my mom quite frequently (she uses a Mac). I always downsize my photos so I'm not sure why it doesn't show up. Might you know why? You seem to know blogging very well and have a lot of experience with it.
Thats truly inviting and interesting salsa..
colorful & yummy...nice click too...
delicious,healthy and colorful salsa
A very good combination...Delicious!
Kiss,
Rita
This looks really good angie! Loved the salsa- Yum!
i love the sweet addition of figs and honey to this tomato salsa. It soulds so delicious... I probably wouldn't even use it as a topping... I'd just eat it straight from the bowl!
What a wonderful mix of flavors! I would have never thought to put them together but I just know they would taste great.
Sounds refreshing and I can't agree with you more that it sounds perfect with seafood!
What a gorgeous healthy dish!
tomato and figs yummy combination
How unique. I honestly would not have thought of this combo...hmmm...very appetizing and versatile at the same time. Thanks Angie ;o)
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
What a lovely combination! It's different levels of sweetness...wonderful!
Angie-I was hoping that your recipe was not with fresh figs, because there's no way we could get fresh figs here, this time of year. Dry figs are in abundance. I've neve heard of this type of salsa, it sounds and looks so delicious, and a rich combination. So, beautiful!
Very refreshing salad, Angie! Love figs to go with any fruits or veggies.
This looks delicious. I love the idea of figs and honey in a salsa.
This sounds like it has the perfect balance of flavors! I bet its great with fish or chicken! :)
The addition of fig to the salsa is a lovely idea, it must give an unexpected burst of sweetness. Simply delicious!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
*kisses* HH
Another interesting combination, Angie! Figs and tomatoes... You leave me wondering again.
Wow! A combo of fruit & veggie is always a winner. Love the vibrant colors of the salsa.
Fabulous looking salsa! I have all the ingredients, can I use red wine vinegar instead? Will give this a try after all the CNY goodies! Thank you!
Oh wow. I adore dried figs but would have never thought to use them in something like this. Delicious!
FIG salsa?!? How interesting! I haven't really cooked with figs yet, but this sounds intriguing!
Like Elisabeth, I was glad to see that you didn't call for fresh figs -- a near impossible find here any time of year! I have to echo all that's been said -- wonderful combination of flavors. Unique, creative. Thanks for sharing.
I like when you add in the dried figs. It is something not so sweet and perfect for the salsa mix. Btw, any plans for the coming celebration? Am I invited to your party too? haha... Hope you're enjoying the weekend.
Cheers, Kristy
Great interesting salsa with dried figs.
@kitchen flavours
Sure. Lemon juice would work too.
I would've never thought to put figs in salsa, but this sounds delightful! Love the vinaigrette!
@Sharon
No worry, it happened to me too. :-)) I don't know the reason, maybe it's a free service, so things like this can happen ;-))
Such a creative recipe! I would have never thought to pair figs and tomatoes... Looks delicious.

Angie: Where do you get these great ideas for flavor combinations? This sounds so good the tomatoes with the figs. How are you serving this? With crusty bread, crackers or on the side of a dish? Looks fantastic!
This is an interesting combo. Looks so wonderful and fresh!
Hmm, sounds and looks so tasty.
:-) Mandy
Wish I had access to fresh figs right now. Honey and figs are great together.
Looks delicious!
Angie this looks so good, I love the combination, you're so creative, I wouldn't have thought to combine tomato and fig!
This is really fantastic, Angie! I absolutely love how you added fig!
I would love to have that for lunch today!
Such a refreshing salsa. Great use of figs as a sweetener!
This is one of the nicest salsa combos I've seen in ages. I love that you have included figs! Super presentation...my mouth watered. :)
I'd never thought to put these two together, but the pairing makes perfect sense! Great post!
wow what a delightful salsa great idea to add figs
I LOVE that this has figs in it. What a unique flavor combination. I would love this. Katy@foodforahungrysoul HUGS!
Looks wonderful Angie! The addition of figs adds such a fresh and delicious flavor!
Great use of figs! Looks so colourful and fresh!
I have not had my figs fix yet this year... and not sure whether there is anymore out there.... *sigh*...
I just have to imagine eating figs and tasting your delicious salsa :)
Oh, Angie, I've been away for awhile, but I can see that you're still the queen of flavor combinations. I bet the sweet, dry fig is so nice with the savory, juicy tomatoes and cucumber. Yum!
Tomatoes and figs is a combo I must try. You are so creative! And this is so pretty. Love the color in the winter - everything is so colorless these days. This salsa brings goodness.
Love the glass bowl .And the salsa with fig n tomatos looks too good
Gorgeous salsa and I LOVE your little fish bowl :D
Holy heaven, figs and tomatoes!?! What a great idea. I would have never thought of it!
I can only imagine how perfect this would taste with a fresh fillet of fish. What a unique and beautiful salsa! Thank you for sharing your sweetness with me. I hope you have a joyful week full of continued good eating!
Love figs. I'm thinking Superbowl for this one.
fig and tomato, yummy combo
Delphine
What an unusual combination, but you had great results as well. This is really interesting. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
What a creative and refreshing salsa! Can be a nice salad too ;)
what a pretty, pretty batch of salsa! i fancy myself something of a salsa connoisseur, but figs have never been involved--well done!
i would love to have dinner at your home:) you are so talented in the kitchen and i love all the dishes you prepare:) thanks for sharing this recipe!
What a wonderful combination of flavors...Figs would be amazing here, truly brilliant Angie :)
Will i ever get tried of saying i love ur presentation NO...just gorgeous salsa :)
I love the photo, and the salsa looks absolutely delicious. I'm jealous of this recipe! I'm a huge salsa lover and really enjoy developing new and interesting salsas with plenty of chili pepper heat.
We've been eating a lot of figs at our house lately. Some say they help you lose weight!
What a very different salsa! I have never tried fig in that way before ... I can imagine it must have been delicious though. It looks wonderful!
Fantastic change up for a salsa. I've seen all kinds of fruits added to salsa, but not figs. I can so picture this salsa with grilled chicken breasts. Delish!
Kristi
What a brilliant use for the figs. I normally see recipes with them in sweet dishes but I love this paired with the tomatoes and used on meats. Great idea!
Love a unique salsa and yours is just that! My mouth is watering! I have archived this recipe to make in the near future.
this has been bookmarked for future improvising! I love it!! Great combos! :)
This is so good. Sweet and savory!
