Pears and figs make a lovely autumnal combination so it is unfortunate they are only in season together during October.

This vegan Kale, Edamame, Pear, Fig & Walnut Salad can be put together in 15 mins. I have kept the dressing simple to make the best of the flavours.

Feel free to add blue cheese or goat cheese. Both work well here.
