Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use fresh, ripe figs for this salad. Look for figs that are plump and have a slightly sweet aroma.
- If you can't find fresh figs, you can substitute dried figs. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes before using.
- Use a good quality goat cheese for this salad. A soft, creamy goat cheese will melt in your mouth and add a delicious tang to the salad.
- The orange-honey dressing is what really makes this salad special. Be sure to use fresh orange juice and honey for the best flavor.
- If you don't have any orange juice on hand, you can substitute lemon juice. Just be sure to add a little bit of honey to taste.
- This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The figs will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Arugula, fig, goat cheese, and orange segments all come together with a sweet and tangy dressing in this colorful and delicious salad.
