At The Fig Café in Glen Ellen, every dish begins with a story — and our Fig & Arugula Salad is one of our most cherished. It’s light, fresh, and full of character — a celebration of Sonoma Valley’s simple ingredients prepared with care.
Here’s the secret: it’s not just what’s in the bowl, but where it comes from.
Each fig is handpicked from a nearby orchard at peak ripeness — soft, honey-sweet, and full of life. We pair it with peppery arugula and creamy chèvre from a local creamery for the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory.
If you love bright, garden-fresh flavors, try ourHeirloom Tomato Caesar — another local favorite that highlights the best of the season.
Our vinaigrette — made from port wine, balsamic vinegar, and pureed figs — brings it all together. Smooth, fruity, and aromatic, it’s whisked fresh each morning in our kitchen. It’s the same handcrafted harmony you’ll find in our Fried Green Tomatoes , where simplicity meets warmth.
“This salad is everything The Fig Café stands for — local ingredients, honest flavors, and food that makes people feel good.”
