Almond Gnocchi Salad with Mushrooms and Spinach
It may be fall, but it still feels like salad weather to me. Here's a warm salad recipe I've been working on that is hearty enough to eat for dinner and light enough to bridge the gap of still-warm weather between summer and fall. I love that it's plant-based, quick & easy -- and a tasty way to get in a lot of those leafy greens!
Thank you to registered dietitian, Amy Gorin for featuring this salad in her recent blog post on what to serve with pumpkin soup!
