Mixed Greens Salad
To construct a seasonal salad, one must adopt the alter-ego of an explorer. Opportunities are abundant, and the constraints of the season offer quick guidance when the appropriate philosophies are adopted. Just as Mixed Greens change across the months to reflect the ebbs and flows of the seasons, so can and should the list of accompanying ingredients. When using these greens look not only at the freshest produce around you but to the forgotten produce of your produce drawer. Limp vegetables offer little crunch and moisture when raw but are flavorful and creamy contributions after being cooked.
