Charlie Bird’s Farro Salad is a dish I’ve made countless times. It’s the perfect contrast of flavors and textures resulting in a very satisfying salad with farro, arugula, tomatoes, sliced radish, pistachios, and shaved parmesan all dressed in a lemon vinaigrette.
Salads
Via Carota’s Insalate Verde
This is the perfect way to kick off the meal and leaves plenty of room for a bowl full of pasta. The vibrant salad is composed of butter and gem lettuce, frisee, watercress, and endive all dressed in Via Carota’s vinaigrette containing shallot, garlic, thyme, and sherry vinegar.
J. Kenji López-Alt’s Kale Caesar Salad
For this classic salad, chopped kale massaged in oil is coated in a straightforward Caesar dressing that skips the raw egg yolk and uses mayo to give the dressing body – it’s rounded out with anchovies, garlic, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. The salad is topped with small croutons (ensuring a crunch in every bite), thinly sliced shallots, and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan!
