Salad with figs and chicken
Description
The salad is very simple to prepare; you can prepare all the ingredients in advance and assemble them just before serving. Fresh figs or dried ones can be used, though fresh are preferable. You can replace walnuts with other nuts, but not hard ones, and the chicken can be boiled, baked, or fried.
