Rather than tossing your salad ingredients in a bowl try making a Composed Salad. Most of us think of composing as something you do to create music or design artwork. Composing a salad is similar. Arrange your salad ingredients in a decorative way on a platter. You can drizzle some herbs, a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top or serve dressing on the side. I keep a copy of Food and Wine magazine that is older than my teenage daughter because it has Julia Child's recipe for Salade Nicoise. Named after Nice in southern France, it is the perfect meal for a summer day.
Lately we have been having Caprese Salad which is named after the island of Capri in Italy. Another wonderful summertime meal, Caprese Salad generally has fresh Mozarella, basil and Roma tomatoes. We have been using yellow cherry tomatoes from the garden and my father-in-law just gave us some gorgeous avocados that I have been adding. Perfect!
