Like a richly balanced symphony of sound, the sweet and savory ingredients in this salad bring out the best in complimentary flavors. The sweetness of fruit enhances the savoriness of lettuce and onions, and the savory does the same to the sweet.

Here are the ingredients needed to make this sweet and savory salad. (NOTE: Figs and plums are seasonal fruits. If they’re not available – or you don’t like them, no problem. Just substitute with fruits you do like, for example: fresh apple, pear, peaches, grapes – or anything you like. The same goes for any of the ingredients you see below.)
