Last week at La Domestique was all about celebrating the final week of spring with salad greens. My spring garden in Colorado is peaking and I’m overwhelmed with salad greens. This past week at La Domestique was not a cover album of classic salads, it was full of fresh ideas for cooking in the moment. The focus was on getting to know salad greens better- their flavors and textures. The garden and farmer’s market is where to look for inspiration when you’re in a salad rut. Seek out one exotic fruit or unique vegetable to inspire your next salad. Discover the pleasure of homemade salad dressing. Cook in the moment with me!
Just in case you missed anything, I’ve got a recap for you!
