Salad

Instructions
- To make the dressing toast mustard seeds in a small pan over low heat until fragrant. Add in maple syrup, water and dried cherries. Let simmer until slightly reduced, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool.
- Add cherry mixture to a small bowl along with lemon juice. Whisk in oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange all salad ingredients as desired on a large platter. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to make the salad nice and cold.
- Drizzle dressing all across the salad platter. Top with more freshly ground black pepper.
