PNW Ingredient Add-On Suggestions

• Roasted wild mushrooms: chanterelles, morels, or porcini add earthy depth.
• Fresh herbs: dill, mint, or parsley for bright herbal notes.
• Wild berry vinaigrette: a drizzle made from local berries like huckleberries or marionberries for a touch of fruity acidity.
• Toasted hazelnuts or walnuts: for crunch and nuttiness.
• Grilled or smoked salmon flakes: for added protein and iconic Pacific Northwest flavor.
