Friends, you know how I feel about salad. NO ONE HAS TIME FOR BORING FOOD.

If you hate salad (like I typically claim to), you’re making it wrong (like I was). Salad is a vehicle for your favorite roasted veggies, delicious dressings, and other fun. Just like pizza is a vehicle for cheese.

So this salad is a vehicle for balsamic roasted pears, pecans and figs and as seems to be my trend lately– goat cheese– topped with a maple balsamic vinaigrette.
