Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to broil. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then slice carrot into 1/4-inch rounds.Add carrots, 1 tbsp oil and cumin to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Broil in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender-crisp, 8-10 min.Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
Pick mint leaves from stems, then roughly chop.Core, then cut pear into 1/2-inch pieces.
Combine fig spread, balsamic vinegar and 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.Add arugula, carrots, pear, mint, half the goat cheese and half the walnuts to the bowl with the dressing, then toss to combine.
Divide salad between plates, then sprinkle remaining walnuts and goat cheese over top.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The mint and arugula create a fresh, flavourful salad, though some found the cumin-spiced carrots clashed with other ingredients.
- Ease of prep: This salad is easy to make while offering an interesting combination of ingredients.
- Suggestions: Consider adding balsamic-marinated chicken for a heartier meal. Try chopped dried figs instead of fig spread for less sweetness.
- Portions: For a more filling plant-based option, add extra protein or vegetables to bulk up the salad.
