This salad is bright, fruity, and exactly the kind of thing we want on the table when berries are at their best. Sweet strawberries and blueberries, tangy goat cheese, and a sharp honey-balsamic dressing already make a strong case, then the cinnamon candied walnuts come in and seal the deal.
This is the kind of dressing worth memorizing because it takes about 5 minutes and works with a ridiculous number of salads. It has enough sharpness from the balsamic, enough richness from the olive oil, and just enough honey to round everything out without turning sweet.
We brew a strong Maui Mango sweet tea, then let a healthy SCOBY do its thing. After the first ferment, it gets transferred to bottles for a second ferment to make it fizzy, soda-like tropical drink.
Inspired by the duck spice blend from Eleven Madison Park, this is a coarse, fragrant mix of cracked Szechuan peppercorn, coriander, cumin, and whole dried lavender.
