Ooo, this is so simple, not sure it qualifies as a recipe. But it is so delicious, you have to try it. I love the combination of the slightly spicy arugula and bitter kale with the sweetness of figs and fig balsamic. Yummy! Quantities really depend on the number of persons eating.

Have you ever been told not to play with your food? Well, here’s your opportunity. In this recipe creamy, rich avocado becomes the dressing by “massaging” it into the kale.
