½ cup sliced cucumber

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup dried cranberries

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Greens: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens. Rinse and dry them thoroughly to ensure a fresh crunch.

    Add the Figs: Gently fold in the quartered figs into the greens, distributing them evenly.

      Incorporate Other Ingredients: Add the sliced cucumbers, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and toasted almonds. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients without bruising the figs.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad right before serving to keep the greens crisp. Toss lightly to coat all ingredients with the dressing.

            Serve: Divide the salad into bowls and enjoy it as a refreshing appetizer or a light main dish.
