This salad has so many delicious things in it. Beets, cranberries, pears, nuts.... and it all tastes so wonderful together. I made this salad because I was craving something super healthy and flavourful. And with all these fruits and vegetables I felt healthy indeed. If I had had some Parmesan cheese I would have grated a bit of that into this salad, so if you have some...grate away! I tossed everything with a homemade vinaigrette which didn't overwhelm the multitude of flavours in this salad.
