Fig, beetroot, goats' cheese, chilli & walnut salad

I really do love the ingredients in this salad so much. While beetroot and goats cheese are a perfect salad pairing, if the dressing isn’t right, it can be somewhat lack lustre. Adding figs gives it not only a lovely sweetness but a pleasing texture, and the chilli and walnuts work with all the ingredients beautifully, no additional seasoning required. Best part? I always have vacuum-packed beetroot in my refrigerator to rescue me when ingredients are a bit thin on the ground and I'm not feeling terribly inspired.
