This recipe might fall into the “duh” category. I should probably make that a thing on my recipe category side bar. This salad would be in there, along with this and this. You know- things that are so basic that you really don’t need a recipe …
If you were to judge dinners around here by my instagram feed, or say, by the contents of my fridge at first glance, you might reasonably come to the conclusion that I feed my family nothing but berries and stone fruit. And while I admit …
