MY FRESH SWEET FIGS, KIWI, CUCUMBER and TART CHERRY SALAD over a BABY SPINACH BED with BALSAMIC DRESSING!

Salads are so multipurpose and useful. We can have a salad for lunch just like this one or we can have one for dinner by adding a protein element such as roasted chicken, pork tenderloin slices, hardboiled eggs, etc. This particular salad is so refreshing and work wonders on a hot sunny-humid day as well.
