Everyone needs a good, solid, go-to Salad. This is mine. And since once upon a time I bought the Wine, I want to be sure it’s a crowd pleaser. One that will bring an equal amount of joy (arguably more or less, pending when you’re at on the wine front ;)). None the less, I do tend to make this Salad a lot. Vary it, sub in toasted nuts of your choice, mix up the greens or the dressing, switch Sweet Potato for regular crispy Roasted Potatoes and make it your own go-to version. However you bring it, or serve it, at home, or out and about, I hope it brings you joy xx
