Hello Friends! I have a really delicious, really unique super salad today. This idea sprouted from finding a new fruit I'd never seen before, golden berries, that I was curious to try. They have such a pretty golden color and a unique citrusy sweet taste. Their color and flavor profile seemed a perfect match for avocado, fennel and pickled red onions. Throw in a few seeds for texture and crunch, some chickpeas for a little plant based protein power, and you've got yourself a very solid and satiating salad! Enjoy!
