Drizzle with the infused vinaigrette and toss gently.
- 5
Top with shaved parmesan, flaky salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Serve right away.
Cooking tips

- Pair with Snowcap or Cinex for a clean, citrus-pine experience.
- This salad is naturally raw, so all 12mg total THC stays available—adjust portion accordingly.

Why this pairing works
Pinene — in your strain and on your plate
Pinene is the terpene of the forest. It famously sharpens focus and counteracts the foggy edges of THC, making pinene-forward strains a great match for herb-driven, woodland-style cooking.
