Recipe Notes
You can dress this salad with any dressing but I think it tastes great with the lightest simplest dressing of just 1/4 cup EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and juice of 1/2 a lemon with fresh ground black pepper & a grind of Pink Himalayan Salt.
*Note: You can also shave some Pecorino Romano Cheese over the top for a yummy finishing touch!
This salad was an inspiration from a salad that I used to get at the restaurant called “Bonefish Grille.”
Unfortunately they stopped putting the toasted pine nuts in it and switched to sunflower seeds which I did not like anywhere near as much. They said it was because of people with allergies but who knows.
Just shows that you can always re-create your favorite restaurant dishes at home if you just get creative
