Tasting notes: The citrus elements of the salad dressing highlight the bright red fruit in that shows up in several of our Pinots. Salmon and Pinot are a classic pairing which we love. The creaminess in the salad dressing and the avocado balance the mouth feel of the Pinot.
Serena's tips: Because I like to make pesto, I always have a jar of pine nuts that I have toasted in advance on hand and that makes the first step of this recipe really easy. This is an easy recipe to reduce the serving size to 2 or 4 people, just keep the salad dressing amounts the same and use the extra dressing in another salad.
