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.
beautiful and tasty salsa!
ReplyDeleteDelightful! That combo is very original.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

How lovely! What an interesting combination of flavors. Love the addition of the dried figs. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWowo i have never tried this combo, but i can imagine how good it will be.
ReplyDeleteI love to eat dried figs. I would love this one. I can even eat it without the roast :D
ReplyDeleteWow this looks so delicious and refreshing! Never seen salsa like this before, it sounds fantastic! You always come up with the best ideas :D.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

This looks really good angie! Loved the salsa- Yum!
ReplyDeletei 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful mix of flavors! I would have never thought to put them together but I just know they would taste great.
ReplyDeleteSounds refreshing and I can't agree with you more that it sounds perfect with seafood!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous healthy dish!
ReplyDeletetomato and figs yummy combination
ReplyDeleteHow unique. I honestly would not have thought of this combo...hmmm...very appetizing and versatile at the same time. Thanks Angie ;o)
ReplyDeleteFlavourful wishes,

What a lovely combination! It's different levels of sweetness...wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAngie-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!
ReplyDeleteVery refreshing salad, Angie! Love figs to go with any fruits or veggies.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I love the idea of figs and honey in a salsa.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it has the perfect balance of flavors! I bet its great with fish or chicken! :)
ReplyDeleteThe addition of fig to the salsa is a lovely idea, it must give an unexpected burst of sweetness. Simply delicious!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend.
*kisses* HH
Another interesting combination, Angie! Figs and tomatoes... You leave me wondering again.
ReplyDeleteWow! A combo of fruit & veggie is always a winner. Love the vibrant colors of the salsa.
ReplyDeleteFabulous 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!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I adore dried figs but would have never thought to use them in something like this. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteFIG salsa?!? How interesting! I haven't really cooked with figs yet, but this sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteLike 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Kristy
Great interesting salsa with dried figs.

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!

Wish I had access to fresh figs right now. Honey and figs are great together.

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!
ReplyDeleteTomatoes 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.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful combination of flavors...Figs would be amazing here, truly brilliant Angie :)

ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWe've been eating a lot of figs at our house lately. Some say they help you lose weight!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteFantastic 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!
ReplyDeleteKristi
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!
ReplyDeleteLove a unique salsa and yours is just that! My mouth is watering! I have archived this recipe to make in the near future.
ReplyDeletethis has been bookmarked for future improvising! I love it!! Great combos! :)
