This salad is crazy good!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I made a few modifications due to what I had on hand but it was still so amazing. I was skeptical after making the dressing that it would be too brine-y but you’re right, once everything comes together, the flavors work extremely well together. The modifications that I had to make were kale instead of arugula, red wine vinegar in place of white wine vinegar, and then the seeds/nut combo I used included sesame, poppy and cashew pieces. The toasted-ness of the seeds/nuts really helps to elevate the flavors of this salad. I just can’t say enough good things about it. Thank you for sharing such a fantastic gem of a recipe! Definite keeper 🙂

So I made this tonight for dinner, not for a date night, because I am happy single lass. Nevertheless, WOW, what a lovely subtle blend of flavors. Thank you again for sharing your delicious creations with us. 🙂

I’m getting married in 2 1/2 weeks, and my vows remain to be written. I feel like I could practically read your post and no one would know! I love date nights at home–well put 🙂

I am always looking for ideas to use green beans. Guess I ate too many boiled beans as a child. Thank you

I love how you talk about seasons and how they change. Not in the weather sense but in your relationship, in your home. What used to look one way when you have small children changes and looks different when they get a little older. If something is important (date nights) you have to adapt. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video!
