I finally got to try fresh figs over the weekend:) I had a shrimp and fig and tomato and balsamic and other things salad at a lovely restaurant in Kaneohe, during one of my last nights in Hawaii. It was everything I've dreamed of, after eating many a fig newton, and spending many an hour admiring my fruitless Ficus tree growing in my bedroom (wrong kind of Ficus).<br /><br />Looks like a wonderful salad, made all the more wonderful by your being able to pick a component of it just a few steps from your door:)Emmahttp://ofagatesandmadeleines.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205639805681286189.post-91124259607668460792011-11-09T12:58:40.569-08:002011-11-09T12:58:40.569-08:00What a great sweet-savory mix of flavors!

Now I just need to get the rest of my veggie garden as happy as my fig tree.<br /><br />M, You are so sweet. Isn't Nice Mag great? I was thrilled to be included in their food issue.<br /><br />thelittleloaf, I cannot take any credit for the health of my fig tree. We just stuck it in the ground and it keep growing, and growing, and growing. I'd say it's just dumb luck on our part;)<br /><br />Angela, you are so right... prosciutto and fruit are great together. Yum!<br /><br />Melanie, Thanks!<br /><br />Oli, M is talking about Nice Mag ( I have a link on my sidebar). It's a beautifully designed mag out of South Africa. It's definitely worth a look - there's so much good stuff to see. And I have no idea what kind of figs I have growing.
