The dressing made using ready made pesto sauce, making it super easy and delicious. The dried raisins contrast beautifully with the salty cheese.

I highly recommend not to skip the roasted tomatoes and onions because they add a lot of juicy depth and flavor to the salad.Can’t wait to see your creations!
