This flavorful salad is a combination of sweet fig, a peppery taste of arugula, parmesan cheese, and a rich buttery flavor of pine nuts. Fresh figs are high in soluble fiber which helps keep you full longer and promotes regularity. Arugula is rich in phytochemicals. And pine nuts, although concentrated in calories, are high in vitamin E, zinc, healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and magnesium.
