of open-air markets, artisans, and vineyards. Organized by season to take
advantage of produce picked at the peak of ripeness, over 50 simple yet

Salad Tips
|
| To have ready, dry and crisp
greens for your salads, always wash all greens as soon as possible after
they are purchased. Dry them well, and store in a plastic bag with a soft,
white paper towel to absorb any extra moisture. |
| For sweeter and crisper
salad onions, soak onion slices in ice water for 30 minutes. Drain well
and pat dry. |
| Never wash mushrooms until
just before you use them. The best way to wash them is under a steady stream
of lukewarm water. Avoid long soaking time. Trim or cut away the stem after
washing to prevent extra absorption of water. |
| Italian radicchio pairs
well with these flavors: nuts, gorgonzola cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar
bacon and fruit. |
| To control radicchio's flavor
soak leaves for at least 15 minutes in very cold water before using. |
| All root vegetables should
be washed before peeling. Rinse them again after peeling. |

THE
CARDINAL'S SALAD
|
Wash a good lettuce and
a bunch of water-cress. Cut a cold boiled beef into strips, add six radishes,
two hard boiled eggs chopped up, and one small sliced cucumber. Arrange
the lettuce-leaves in a salad-bowl, mix the other ingredients with a sufficient
quantity of mayonnaise
sauce, put them in the midst
of the lettuce, and serve. |

ENDIVE
SALAD
|
| Take a head of endive, wash
it and dry it well, and put it into a salad-bowl. Pour over it three tablespoons
of good olive-oil. Mix one tablespoon of honey (or sugar), one of vinegar,
and salt and pepper in a cup, and pour over the salad just before serving. |
