When it comes to getting more produce in your diet, salads can really help! I have been enjoying trying new taste combinations in my salad. This past year, there’s been a good amount of emphasis on sweet and savory combinations. This salad is no exception, but it’s not over the top sweet. I love...
I love this time of year. The weather has gotten cooler, and it gets dark earlier. And it’s the time for some wonderful fall produce.
