Cooking Tips

• Make sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also use a grill pan or broil the endive and red onion in the oven.
• You can add some crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese to the salad for an extra creamy and tangy flavor.
• If fresh figs are not available, you can also use dried figs. Just rehydrate them in warm water for a few minutes before using.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately after assembling.
• If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Before serving the leftovers, let them come to room temperature and drizzle with a little extra dressing to refresh the flavors.
