Greens with Black Cherry Dressing
In this salad, you'll taste a delicious marriage of flavors as candied nuts, crisp bacon, and Parmesan cheese are tossed with greens and dressed in a wine vinaigrette. For the dressing, look for a Pinot Noir whose label boasts notes of black cherry. Then serve the same bottle to start off the meal.
