This light, summer salad pairs nutrients from the arugla and figs with the healthy fats and protein from the pine nuts and cream cheese. It is low calorie, but high in nutritional content.
You can also stuff the figs with feta or goat cheese if you want it to be a little sharper and a little healthier.
