Salad is all too
often an afterthought at
the dinner table. It's the sidekick
to that roast chicken or those takeout
pizzas. Why not let it take center stage?
As the weather cools and we find ourselves
tucking into richer, heavier fare, turning to
salad is a surprising move that I guarantee can
be no less satisfying. I don't mean a cold, crisp
bowl of lettuce. Instead, look to warm salads that
take advantage of seasonal vegetables such as
mushrooms, winter squash, cauliflower, and
cabbage, and even f ruit such as dates and
apples. My newest cookbook, Salad Seasons,
celebrates salads in unconventional, yet
easy-to-execute ways. Serve up these
cozy autumnal salads family-style, and
you'll have a whole new kind of
dinner party to indulge in
this season.
