This recipe came from the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, p. 61. (smittenkitchen.com) I had checked her website at various times. I was looking for books to check out from the digital library on my iPad and this book came up. I thought, "Why not?" Well, reading a cookbook on an iPad is not ideal. You see about half a page at a time, with very small photos. But I liked the recipes and thought that I would buy the book.
Well, I bought the book, and it is SO much better than trying to read on the iPad. There are lots of good recipes that I want to try.
This salad is on a dinner plate and easily serves 4 to 6. I ended up cutting it into wedges for ease in serving, but it made for a colorful and inviting salad.
Instead of cutting into wedges, Deb Perelman slices the head of lettuce into 6 big slices and layers them, adding dressing and topping on each before adding the next layer of lettuce. For me, this is more about the presentation than recipes.
