I love salad. All kinds of salad. However, it wasn’t always this way.

When I was a vegetarian and vegan, I became so sick of salads that it made me want literally cry that, once again, I had to eat greens, greens and more boring greens.

The things that cracks me up now is, I didn’t have a lot of imagination back then when it came to salads. But you have to remember, it was the 1990s and there weren’t things like this delicious yellow beet and fig salad. At least that I could see.

But this salad? It’s so delicious and satisfying that I could eat it at least once a week.

  1. I am so down for the combo of beets and figs. I’m pretty much down for figs and anything, but this is especially compelling. Bonus points for being gorgeous!

  2. I’ve never cooked with figs before either, which is ridiculous because I love them. I eat salad almost every weekday for lunch and I’m growing tired of the same thing. This recipe would help me change up my flavors in a fun way! Great job 🙂

  3. I love all of the beautiful ingredients you’ve added here — especially the golden beets and figs! I’ve never thought to combine them and it sounds just delicious!
