IDEALLY, FRESH FIGS ARE BEST, BUT THEY ARE IN SEASON FOR ONLY A SHORT WHILE, SO IT’S FINE TO USE DRIED FIGS ONCE THE SEASON IS OVER. FIGS ARE SURPRISINGLY HIGH IN BETA-CAROTENE, WHICH IS NEEDED FOR GOOD EYESIGHT, AND THEY’RE A GREAT SOURCE OF ENERGY. THE COOL FRESHNESS OF THE CUCUMBER PROVIDES THE BUILDING BLOCK FOR THE TANGY GOAT’S MILK CHEESE AND SWEET FIG, WHILE THE PISTACHIOS ADD CRUNCH.
