RECIPE - FIGD AND POPCORN SALAD
These beautiful figs just needed a beautiful salad. I always like to combine sweet, salt and sour. Also different textures like soft and crunchy. This salad offers it all! And the good news is: there is no dressing needed for this salad. The sweet and sour cucumber is a perfect replacement for a dressing. Especially if you combine it with the creaminess of the goat cheese. I always prepare more than half a cucumber and put it in a sterilized jar.

Ingredients
For 2 persons as a side dish or for 1 person as a main dish salad
half a cucumber
100 grams baby spinach or lamb's lettuce
2 figs sliced in 8
