This one I made last night, to go with a roast rack of pork. It's very quick to put together and it's a delicious combination. It would go equally well with lamb or chicken I think. Or just in a bowl by itself as a solo meal.
Fig, feta and almond salad (serves 2)
1 handful flaked almonds
4 ripe figs
1 little gem lettuce
125g feta
2 spring onions
2 tsp honey
1 tsp grainy mustard
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
2 tbs olive oil
Toast the flaked almonds and put them to cool in your salad bowl. Quarter the figs, wash the lettuce and tear the leaves, crumble the feta and slice the spring onions into the bowl.
In a small bowl or ramekin mix the honey, mustard, vinegar and olive oil to an emulsion. Taste it - my mustard is quite sharp so it needed 2 tsp of honey, but a mellower mustard needs less. Just before serving pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.

Beautiful! I love interesting salads, too, with carefully considered dressings ... you're funny.
This looks good, and still simple despite being so interesting! My boyfriend also likes interesting salads. He's always suggesting ingredients to put in salads!
i'd love this--sweet and salty and crunchy and chewy, all the things i strive to achieve with my salad-making. :)
Fruit is always a good addition to salads. Oranges in salads are popular here (both as juice and in slices).
