"We teamed up with our friends at Mavuno Harvest to create this tasty and easy-to-make salad, featuring their sustainably harvested and delicious dates and our light and fluffy Greens! Fonio Pilaf. It’s brimming with ingredients that pack flavor and texture, like toasted pecans and salty goat cheese crumbles. We used oranges twice in this recipe: first, supremed (get ready to flex those knife skills!), and then again in the citrusy vinaigrette. We can’t get enough of this salty-sweet salad, and know you’ll crave it, too!"
