I have a funny opinion about salad recipes. The point about a salad is you just throw a bunch of ingredients together, toss and serve. You add more of what you love and less of what you like and none of what you hate. However, I agree that certain things go really well together and others should never be together. Saying that – associated tastes generally makes sense to most people – though I see why people still read salad recipes and buy salad ‘building’ books. Its the eclectic, eccentric, different, ‘I wouldn’t have thought of that’ moments that is why you still read salad recipes.
So wrap your head (and chops) around this one. Not saying its going to blow your mind – but there is a little difference.
