Tips:

Choose ripe, seasonal figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when gently pressed. Avoid figs that are bruised or have any signs of mold.
Use a variety of greens. This will add flavor and texture to your salad. Some good options include arugula, spinach, kale, and romaine lettuce.
Toast the walnuts. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast walnuts in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
Use a good quality blue cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and has a strong flavor.
Dress the salad lightly. You don't want to overwhelm the flavors of the figs and blue cheese. A simple vinaigrette is a good option.
Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the greens from wilting.
