Currently craving this loaded fruit, berry, and nut salad with salty Italian Parmesan.
The last few weeks I’ve been holed up at my computer inputting content for my new site.
I have put in 12 hour stretches fueled by coffee and tons of junk food. I mean it’s quick and convenient and leaves me more time to work.
But the truth is I am starting to feel a little sluggish, so for dinner tonight I’ve thrown together this delicious salad.
It’s overflowing with berries which are loaded with anti-oxidants, some walnuts for crunch.
I’ve also thrown in some dried figs to add some chew (because you know they are my favorite ingredient).
And then in my nod to Italy, I’ve finished it off with some Italian Reggiano parmesan.
This salad is insane…. One I have no doubt you will make again and again!
