Cherry Pistachio Salad

Cherry Pistachio Salad Recipe

A lil’ bit different

Ok, so this is a little bit different - but hear me out. Before tomatoes come into season, I am always looking for juicy little globes to use as contrast on plates of chicken or veggies fresh off the grill. In walks cherries. Might seem a bit unexpected, but tossed in a good vinaigrette, with a lil’ bit of spice, and topped with the crushed roasted pistachios… I think this one might surprise you.
