Fig, Pear, and Walnut Salad

Figs are like candy, especially when you're on a Daniel Fast. Fresh figs are absolutely delicious, but they're a rarity where I live. Every so often I'll see them at a local health food store, particularly in early summer and late summer/early fall. However, most times, I just use dried figs, which are featured in this salad.
