Notes: I love fresh herds mixed with fruit on a salad. This is a very simple summery dish. I made it early in the morning, which is weird for breakfast to have salad, but it was awesome nonetheless. It travels well, just keep the dressing separate until you get to your destination, or its lunchtime. This is also an easy salad to make more of in case you are having a dinner party. You can use pecans, or pine nuts, or other fruits! Try it out. Oh, a nice basic ratio for dressing is 4 parts oil, 1 part vinegar, so play around with different flavor combos.
