*Salads & Their Dressings |
|
Salad is a cook’s salvation. With it, any meal is guaranteed to be one of genuine refreshment, and without it, even the most carefully composed menu is left longing for a lift.
Salads can be grilled or poached, chilled or warm, tossed into a jumble or meticulously constructed. When you add meat, fish, poultry, potatoes, pasta, or a grain, the ubiquitous mound of raw fresh greens, interrupted by a crouton, becomes fertile ground for imaginative combinations of ingredients and dressings.
One of the more intriguing ideas I have been working with in these recipes is the use of precooked ingredients, like canned beans, frozen spinach, or tomato puree, to thicken a salad dressing in place of most of the oil. Not only does it cut calories, but it also increases the amount of vegetables in the salad.
