I’m seeing pumpkin recipes showing up on Pinterest and Facebook. I. Can’t. Handle. It! It is still July right? We didn’t magically skip a couple months and it’s suddenly fall? I don’t understand, please explain it to me if you do.

I know people start getting excited for fall when there’s been a long heat wave. I can relate. With the exception of this past Sunday, Denver has been hot and dry for several weeks. However, I love summer and am by no means ready to pull out my sweaters again.

I mentioned on Monday that I finally found fresh figs at the store and couldn’t wait to use them in a couple new recipes.

On Monday it was Fig and Almond Butter Toast which makes an excelled breakfast or snack. Today I’m sharing the recipe for this Grilled Fig, Goat Cheese and Pistachio Salad. It’s sweet, savory, tangy from that goat cheese and a wonderful way to use seasonal fresh figs!

All you have to do is cut them in half, brush them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper then grill them cut side down for about two minutes. The result is a caramelized, sweet, smoky delicious fig that pairs perfectly with the savory ingredients in this salad.

Tangy crumble goat cheese, crunchy pistachios, the peppery flavor of the arugula and a sweet, tart maple balsamic vinaigrette round out this seasonal salad.
