Just a Small Town Grill took over the building that used to be Pauline's Fruit Market, and this salad is a tribute to her. It contains romaine lettuce, fresh blueberries, mandarin orange segments, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and sweet and salty cashew, almond, and pumpkin seed mix. It's served with lemon honey poppyseed vinaigrette on the side. There was crunch and sweetness from the nut clusters, chewy sweet and tart from the dried cranberries, juiciness from the large blueberries and the mandarin segments, all balanced by raw red onion and the feta cheese. This salad was juicy with crunch, and I paired it with Desert Citrus wheat ale, flavored with tangerine, from Coachella Valley Brewing (my favorite local brewing company).
Location: Just a Small Town Grill, 49643 29 Palms Hwy, Morongo Valley, California. Date: April 27, 2024.

Sounds like something so simple even I could make it. I think I'll try that now.
