This wonderfully light, bright and fruity is packed with easy-to-find seasonal produce and loaded with delicious flavours and textures. It makes a perfect appetizer or as a light lunch. The sweetness of the clementine and figs pair perfectly with the bitterness of the arugula and tartness of pomegranate arils. If you don't like goat cheese, tangy and salty blue cheese would be an excellent alternative.

- Clean, wash and spin-dry the arugula leaves. Peel 3 clementines and cut into slices. Wash the figs, pat dry and quarter. Roughly chop the macadamia nuts. Cut the fresh goat cheese into bite-sized pieces.
- Halve the remaining clementine and squeeze out the juice. Mix the clementine juice, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper together, then whisk in the olive oil.
- Toss arugula, figs, clementines, and pomegranate arils with half of the dressing in a large bowl. Arrange the salad on a platter and top with goat cheese and the chopped macadamia nuts. Serve with the remaining dressing.

...a fresh, colorful treat!
At some point in our ancient history we must have been exceptionally good. And the gods bestowed goat cheese on us. Happy days!
This salad looks beautiful - colorful and I'm sure it's tasty, I'll try this recipe.
I was just saying to myself, oh, Angie has not cooked anything with figs for us in centuries LOOOL Nice positioning of that heart shaped bowl on the plate. I bought the last mini watermelon today ahead of the rainy, cold, Autumn weekend.
I would love this salad, looks tasty and pretty!
Take care, have a great weekend.
Super sekali
Not only a terrific sounding salad, it is also very pretty with the colorful ingredients. Karen (Back Road Journal)
