In Asia, Be Prepared That Your Salad Won’t Be Served Chilled
Nevertheless, hope springs eternal
I ADORE salads!
If one can be a Salad Aficionado, I qualify. I can live solely on salads. Every day.
Any kind. All varieties. Every international cuisine.
Simple greens with a few veggies and lovely oil and vinaigrette? Absolutely fine.
One exploding with shrimp or crab, hard-boiled eggs, plus anything else? Even better.
Fruits only? Perfect.
My mother’s seven-layer (five for me, sans onions and bacon) family favorite? The best!
Tuna Nicoise. Transported to heaven.
Tabouli? Love it.
Greek salad with feta and kalamata olives? My mouth waters.
Classic Italian salad? Of course.
Coleslaw? Adore it.
Andrew Weil’s/True Kitchen “Tuscan Kale Salad?” My Numero Uno, is unbeatable, and noshable for days because it doesn’t wilt.
[Google this recipe, fellow salad lovers. I’ve yet to serve it at any dinner party where every guest didn’t want the recipe].
