I worried this would be too sweet, but my husband and I both enjoyed it. I cut the fig quantity in half; I used the optional pomegranate seeds in the salad; and I used balsamic vinegar. The pomegranate juice and seeds are refreshingly sweet; the radicchio and arugula add a nice sharpness; and the pumpkin seeks are yummy and toasty. I forgot to soak the figs ahead of time and instead soaked them in boiling water while I prepared the salad. That worked fine.

Top best 3 salads ever eaten. It's awesome! I made it once this week and then I thought it was so good, I ate it two more times later in the same week. First I would suggest Turkish figs over black mission, they are sweeter and more delicious but use what you got. I also added more veggies like raw carrots, celery, green beans, cabbage, broccoli and kale instead if romaine (because that's what I had and I mixed it up each time). I also added some beans and I used frozen pomegranate kernels instead of fresh. For the dressing I added a handful of cashews to make the dressing creamier. Delicious!

This was so good! I made it for Christmas Eve dinner for my SAD family and they all loved it. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you to whoever created this.
