This Italian-ish salad has winter ingredients http://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/arugula-radicchio-and-fennel-salad This salad from Senegal also contains ingredients that are available at this time of year (plus it's a great do-ahead dish). I cut the oil down to 1/2 cup and it was fine. http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Senegal-Black-Eyed-Pea-Salad This Israeli salad is incredible (I add black olives and feta to make it a light lunch).Unfortunately, it tastes best when mixed with the dressing just before serving, so I don't know it this is an option (the tomato and cucumber release too much liquid and get mushy if done too far in advance). http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/kibbutz-vegetable-salad-231756 |
