From the story: Beyond the Plate: Food as a Medium for Artistic Expression.
I first discovered this delightful salad when I was invited to a friend’s dinner, and they graciously served it. It was so delicious that I couldn’t resist asking for the recipe! After making a few tweaks to incorporate some more of my favorite items, I’m excited to share it with you. I encourage you to also customize it to suit your exact taste.
