Fig season is in full swing, as these delicious Mediterranean fruits will be in season until the middle of the fall season. If you find yourself lucky enough to find them at your local market, you might be wondering what you can do with these delicious fruits. Have no fear, as here are three great uses for fresh figs that you can only use during their relatively short season!
Eat Them By Themselves
While most of us aren’t used to eating them, fresh figs are a sweet and delicious treat. All of the fruit is edible except for its stem, which you should cut off. Other than that, just slice open, take small bites and enjoy its ultra-sweet flavor.
In Salads
Figs are a great topping for a salad as long as you don’t go over the top with them. They go great with ingredients like berries, spinach, and goat cheese. My favorite dressing to use on salads with figs is a balsamic vinaigrette.
On Toast
Have you ever tried fig toast before? Using a multi-grain, slightly sweet bread along with goat cheese or a relatively strong option can be the perfect combination between savory and sweet to start your morning!
