Summer Fig Walnut Salad with Creamy Spinach Alfredo Pasta
Because summer and salads are a match made in culinary heaven, I love to include light salad and sandwiches for my summer diet. With Fig and walnut salad, I prefer creamy pasta and it pairs up really well. Fig can be replaced with pear or other favorite fruit of your choice.
