Grape, Avocado & Walnut Salad
This salad has it all: fresh greens, creamy avocado, crunchy walnuts & little bursts of sweetness from red grapes! It’s a salad you’ll definitely crave if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. It pairs perfectly with a balsamic vinaigrette and you can top it off with a crumble of goat cheese, red onions, or some roasted pumpkin seeds for even more deliciousness.
