Serve this salad for a flavorful and simple dish everyone will love.
Every time I used to go to California Pizza Kitchen, I’d order their phenomenal Waldorf salad, partially because it was huge, but mostly because it was oh-so-tasty. I don’t know who invented this combination of flavors, but I’m grateful for them.
Since I’ve stopped going out to eat so much in the past few years, I’m not sure if they’re such a THING on restaurant menus anymore. What I do know, however, is that this juicy salad mixture needs to make a comeback, and it’s going to happen right here, right now.
In an effort to eat more plant-based and improve the sustainability factor of my diet, this dish contains no animal products. I love the trio of balsamic vinegar (of course…do you know me?), crunchy red grapes, baby kale, and quinoa. There’s a fresh, light feeling to this salad, and I’m already dreaming about the next time I can make it!
