Fig and goat cheese salad

So, I have just returned from Montpellier, France. It was an official trip from the Uni, where I had to present my research work to the industrial personels and University researchers/professors alike. But I did get to cherish my share of fun too above all. Anyway, now the French are quite proud and famous for their cuisine, and I would give it them that indeed some of their dishes are quire delectable. However, I have profusely indulged myself in the mediterranean salamis during the course of my trip, that I just cannot get enough of, and which sadly cannot be found in the UK that readily. Anyway, inspired by the trip, I have a few recipes up my sleeves that I would definitely like to try and share with you all in due time. However, here is something healthy yet utterly delicious that I have whipped up: a scrumtious fig and goat cheese salad. Yes, it is indeed inspired by my recent visit to the mediterranean. And I have to say that I absolutely love how it tastes... If you haven't ever tried figs with goat cheese then I cannot even begin to explain what devinity you are missing from experiencing... Seriously, it is just so good... A very simple recipe, provided you find all the ingredients during the peak season. You will surely ask for more! Here's how to prepare one:
