I love figs, and I love summer because of figs. From vanilla bean & fig cupcakes with a bourbon buttercream (yum!) to Fig Newton cookies, if it has figs, I'm interested. Here are a few fabulous recipes for all of us fig lovers - proven to convert haters to lovers.
Fig Tapas with Lavender
	Because this recipe is translated, please note that the first line should read: combine almonds, dates and salt in a food processor and process to create a paste. Roll the paste into a long and cut into disks -- then proceed as usual! Raw, dairy free, vegan.
Crostini with Figs, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese
	Sweet, salty, soft and crunchy all come together to create this tantalizing Italian appetizer. Serve on GF bread.
Almond Herb Tarts with Dandelion Pesto, Fontina and Figs
	Simple, elegant and out of this world tasty! Grain free and eggless.
Fig and Olive Tapenade
	This spread is positively addictive! Perfect spread on toast or paired with a cheese plate.
Fig Tartlets
	With a super cool brown rice crust, these mini-tarts are perfect for one or a crowd of 10!
