Ingredients:

• Lettuce of your choice

• Pitted cherries

• Avocado

• Chopped basil

• Crushed cashews

• Gorgonzola or blue cheese crumbles

Dressing:

• Balsamic vinegar

Instructions:

Pit the cherries and then use as much or as little as you want of any of the ingredients.  It’s a salad. You can’t screw it up, I promise! Strawberries or apples are a great substitute if you don’t like cherries.

**Pitting cherries is easy. Pull the stem off, stick your thumbs in the middle, pry it open, and the pop out the seed.  I will say, it can be messy and cherry juice isn’t kind to clothing. Wear an apron or shirt you don’t like**
