Watercress-Citrus Salad with Grilled Figs
| Description: | Try figs in salads, desserts and fruit salsas – or as a fruit garnish. They tempt the palate with more than their trendy flavor; their small edible seeds also deliver fiber. Although fresh figs have a limited season, you can enjoy figs any time of the year; simply keep canned figs on your pantry shelf. | |
