The Perfect Pairings

- Beet and Goat Cheese Salad: A quick healthy lunch I serve Will, one of his favorites!
- Grain Bowls: Drizzle it over quinoa, farro, or wild rice bowls with roasted veggies and nuts.

Notes
- Walnut oil adds a rich, nutty depth that I love to experiment with in the fall. Feel free to swap for olive oil if you prefer a more neutral base.
