You know those days where you eat a ton of food and just feel heavy… while I love to indulge occasionally but after too much of that I need to get back to my normal healthy eating. And after a few days of delicious pulled pork I felt like I needed a little greenery in my life. And oh was it a delicious salad. Great texture, lots of crunch, a bit of sweetness from the dried cherries and the balsamic glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
This was perfect with River Bend Blend, a winery near my Grandparent’s house in Chippewa Falls, WI. A great red and a salad. It was a perfect dinner!
