For Bradford

Match

The corn salad features Tracie Broom's brilliant FB-posted recipe
for tomato vinaigrette. The arugula in the shrimp salad is perfection.

(Pinches of brie are not a part of the salad.)

This salad still needs work, but
it's headed in the right direction.

Sectioning Nice But Not Essential

With a new sharp knife in my kitchen, I've gotten into sectioning oranges for salads. A task that once seemed unthinkably tedious has become quite quick and easy. Typically, I squeeze the juicy pith-clinging leftovers of the fruit into a vinaigrette and then don't worry about chucking out most of the orange in the process. But, this picture, despite its blurriness, attests to the beauty of an orange cut into flowery pin-wheels and placed atop some dressed greens.

with roasted delicata squash, sugar-cured cranberries, pinenuts, and pomegranate vinaigrette.

made in good part with leftovers from the salad in the 1.22.09 post--
half a cara cara orange, goat cheese, toasted walnuts. far less perfect
than that previous salad, but possibly prettier.
