In my crunchy, colorful, organic plant-based kitchen, healthy, hearty salads are an

everyday occurrence.

A fresh, flavorful, multi-textured salad made with seasonal ingredients is my idea

of comfort food.

That’s why I love this Cranberry Pear Walnut Avocado Spinach Salad.

Imagine savoring each mouthful of pear, walnuts, cranberry, red onion, tomatoes,

avocado and spinach with a creamy tahini dressing.

buds and brought a smile to my face.
