Figs come into season in late summer, and if you’re lucky enough to have a fig hookup (AKA a friend with a fig tree) like me, then this is a refreshing and stunningly inviting salad that’s perfect for a hot summer day.

Guessipe

• 1 head spinach, washed and hand-torn
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 5 carrots, sliced
• 7 figs, cut into wedges
• 1 lb cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups chickpeas
• 1 medium red onion, macerated (thinly slice the onion, mix with 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 1 tsp salt, let sit for at least 1 hour)
