I see the photo shows halved figs and some sort of greens yet they are not in the recipe.

The recipe does call for arugula to be spread over the top.

It looks like the recipe author took some artistic liberty in garnishing with fresh fig slices. It's pretty difficult to source tasty fresh local figs at this time of year in North America so I'd probably omit unless I was making this in late summer/early fall and had some from the farmers market.

Your call though.
