Author Notes
This Summer Fig Appetizer is a delicious, light summery appetizer. It is balanced with the sweetness of fresh ripe fruit, peppery arugula, tangy vinaigrette, distinctive fennel, crunchy pistachios and creamy fondue. A lot of flavors going on in this appetizer but they work well together and complement each other. —Thyme of Season
