    I know you said not to use this...but I was searching for some recipes to use up some fresh figs a neighbor gave me. Gave this a whirl, caramelizing the figs a bit before adding them...added a few pecans for texture, and it was scrumptious...probably the best salad to come out of my kitchen! Thnx! - 7/12/10
