For this salad I also wanted a little zip in my dressing. I found a great new vinegar that we really enjoy. In fact, there’s a whole line, so I’ll have to look into all of the other flavors. This one is the Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar, Balsamic Blend. It’s quite delicious and it’s obviously different than just a plain Rice Vinegar or plain Balsamic Vinegar. It added that pop of flavor to the dressing without me needing to add a bunch of different ingredients. Last minute I decided to make it a little creamy, which ended up being really nice with the nutty hemp seed and fruity craisins/apples.

I LOVE adding hulled hemp seeds to everything! Not only are they great in salads, add them to smoothies to make them creamier and to add protein. Beautiful salad! 🙂
