This is the ULTIMATE dressing - full of savoury Fall herbs like rosemary and sage, crunchy walnuts, sweet and tart cherries and flavourful, rich bison. Not only is it a family favourite for around Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s great for stuffing into mushrooms and squash for an easy yet decadent weeknight meal.
