When most people think of salads, wintertime usually isn’t the first season that comes to mind.
Humble winter vegetables and grains like wild rice and wheat berries are some of my favorite combinations, especially as a hearty salad when dressed with our sweet and tart Durant Pomegranate Vinegar and a healthy drizzle of Durant Mission EVOO.
Add your favorite toasted nuts or seeds for texture, in this case Oregon grown hazelnuts, and ample salty cheese like feta or an Italian Pecorino and you have a delicious, texturally pleasing and healthy salad.
