I personally love salads... or to make clean PB&J style sandwiches... however I bought a case at costco and need ideas!!
Here is a my contribution..
Fig and Pecan Salad by Picky Nikki, on Flickr
Recipe I like to use for salads with figs...
Spring Mix Greens
Goat cheese
Pecans (candied in a clean way explained on recipe link provided)
Figs
1/4 of orange or clementine

It makes a light refreshing salad, that is only 225 cal.

Or, Clean nut butter sandwiches are just your nut butter, and cut up berries or in this case figs on some whole grain bread or bread alternative.

I have a bunch more figs to use up... any ideas??

FRESH FIG SALSA
(great on burgers or on fish!)

2 ½ cups fresh figs, diced
½ cup yellow bell pepper, diced
¼ cup finely minced red onion
½ cup dried cranberries (raisins can be substituted)
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced, or 2 tsp. dried red chili flakes
2 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. olive oil
1 T. fined minced or grated fresh ginger

I also love them sliced in my oatmeal in the morning, and as a topping on a flatbread pizza with goat cheese!
