All The Citrus and Some Of The Greens Salad

All The Citrus and Some of the Greens Salad

[I] take my salads very seriously. Similarly, I take my omelettes, sandwiches and daiquiris with equal reverence. I need to know the person making me an omelette and I prefer that they have a big floppy chef hat on (bonus).  I need to shake the hand of the person making my sandwich before they put plastic gloves on and add extra black olives to my situation (thank you!).  I like to know the middle name of the person making me a daiquiri… a fact I usually learn after the third of fourth daiquiri.  All of this to say, I love when people make me food, and I really like to know who they are before I enjoy it.

Salads, though.  I like to make my own salads.  There’s a delicate balance of fruit and green, cream and crunch and nuts.  Let’s try!

All The Citrus and Some of the Greens Salad

There’s a trick when it comes to eating (and really enjoying) a salad. It has to be pretty. I mean… if you’re going to trick me into eating raw parsley, it better be good lookin’.

Winter citrus will be our beauty. That’s not to say that parsley isn’t beautiful, but most things are prettier when a pink grapefruit is around. That’s science.

All The Citrus and Some of the Greens Salad

We’re working with a divine combination of Winter offerings: pink grapefruit, navel oranges, and blood oranges. I miss strawberries until I remember oranges are everything. All of the citrus! Not really, I’m missing the pomelo, but you get the idea.

All The Citrus and Some of the Greens Salad

Greens include thinly shredded romaine leaves, sharp and spicy fresh parsley, crunchy celery, and creamy avocado.

All The Citrus and Some of the Greens Salad

See? Look at our beauty. Juicy sweet citrus, crispy lettuce and celery, creamy avocado and a lemon vinaigrette, topped with salty roasted cashews. All of the textures to entice us into health! Happy day to you and me!

    Mm I have to disagree about other people making my salad- I always prefer eating a salad made by someone else. I have no idea why. HOWEVER, you make amazing salads that I don’t mind making myself (except for all the chopping- chopping vegetables is not my thing and I hate cleaning the food processor. Alas.) I have made the celery, avocado, pomegranate, goat cheese, etc over and over this past month.

    I’ve made this several times now, & it’s the best salad ever.

    This salad was delicious! I added a little extra avocado and used a yellow grapefruit that I ended up picking out… no matter how hard I try to like grapefruit I just don’t. But I’ll keep on trying. I loved the pretty presentation of this salad and the addition of cashews.

In a shock to no one, I have a lot of thoughts about the perfect summer cobbler.  Cobbler is a sweetened fruit base topped with a wet biscuit batter that bakes up to be something between a cake and a biscuit atop simmering fruit.  A cobbler is not a crisp (though this apple crisp really…

Okay, there’s something I haven’t told you about Louisiana.  It’s not about the best jazz at Preservation Hall or the sazeracs at The Roosevelt.
