Everybody needs a go-to summer salad recipe, right?! This fig almond parmesan salad is it!

My parents have two gorgeous fig trees in their backyard, and let me tell you, I’M JEALOUS. I love figs. Dried or fresh, they are one of my favorite fruits. And in a salad, they bring just the right punch of fresh sweetness.

The avocado and parmesan add delicious creaminess to this salad that otherwise would feel ~blah~ without it. Definitely don’t miss out on these ingredients!
