Shaun Rankin's beautifully simple salads can be thrown together at the last minute when everything else is prepared. This potato recipe, using Jersey Royals, uses an interesting combination of goat's cheese and figs that works surprisingly well with roast chicken or even grilled fish. The figs used in this vegetarian recipe add a lovely layer of sweetness.
