FOCUS THIS WEEK: Salad!

India can lay claim to a lot of good food however salad is not one of them. I ate my first salad, a delicious Ceaser as an adult in Canada and I’ve been hooked ever since. Over the course of decades, I’ve made dozens, if not hundreds of different kinds and the wonders of a salad continue to fascinate me. The salad section on our recipe website india1948 is the largest.

                 A salad is begging for exponential creativity. Composed, tossed, layered, warm, cold? Meat, cheese or chicken? I’ve seldom served a meal at my home without a salad, even in the dead of winter. Essentially, anything can be turned into a salad, yes even a rice dish as you will see below. Raw or roasted vegetables, airy greens, maybe a nut or two, local fruit come together with a variety of delicious dressings. The more I cook, the more dialed in and simpler it gets.
