I ask the server where the ingredients are from and what’s in the dressing and what makes it so…extra delicious? One such salad inspired this 30-minute recipe, and it lives at Solstice Pizza in Hood River, Oregon – a must-visit if you’re ever in the Portland area and craving some killer gluten-free, vegan pizza. The concept is easy, but it’s all in the texture and flavor combinations. The base is gorgeous mixed greens.The fruit is tender, ripe pear.Dried cherries add a slight chew and tartness.Super simple candied walnuts add crunch, nuttiness, and subtle sweetness.And it’s all tossed in a tangy, 4-ingredient balsamic vinaigrette. The result is a super fresh, semi-sweet salad with layers of flavor and texture. This is the perfect entrée when you want something healthy but filling! It would also make a delicious side to dishes like pizza, pasta, or veggie burgers this summer. If you try this recipe, let us know!
