[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, don’t have a recipe, but a shoutout to a fabulous “Winter Salad” on the specials menu at Our Mom Eugenia in Mosaic on Saturday. Had leftovers for lunch yesterday and thought “I could eat this every day of 2024”. [/quote]
No recipe, but could you at least share what was in it?

Avocado Salad with Carrot Ginger dressing. I would eat the dressing as a carrot mousse if I could figure out the ratio.  https://smittenkitchen.com/2010/04/avocado-salad-with-carrot-ginger-dressing/

And I started with this recipe a few years ago https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/05/carrot-salad-with-tahini-and-crisped-chickpeas/ and have since stopped making the chickpeas and omit the garlic entirely. It fights with the other flavors and becomes overwhelming if you want leftovers.

I love the milky bitter flavor of iceberg, so I have been making salads like my grandma used to make, only I double the vegetables for more of a chopped salad and less of a greens salad. Celery, onions, green pepper, sliced black olives if I’m really in my nostalgia (though I do not buy the Velveeta for cubes she used to put in there).

Cape Cod Chopped Salad by Ina Garten is a favorite in our house, too, though I no longer have blue cheese for migraine reasons. I’ve boiled that one down to chopped arugula, chopped almonds, craisins, bacon and a dressing of bacon fat/olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, apple cider vinegar… it’s pretty far from Ina’s at this point.

Long live the salad![/quote]
