JUNE SALAD
This is inspired by the local Farmer's Market. Thank you for providing us with the freshest, earliest produce to push the lingering remnants of winter out of our heads.

To do this elegant starter salad justice, PLEASE use the freshest produce! Developed for Craze-E 6/09. 'Start with salad at a dinner party.'

- Don't Overdress the Salad: A light dressing is key to a well-balanced salad. Drizzle just enough dressing to coat the leaves lightly, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through.
- Add Crunchy Elements: Incorporate ingredients like nuts, seeds, or crispy vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers to add a satisfying crunch and textural contrast.
- Play with Flavors: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Try adding fruits like berries or citrus segments, tangy cheeses like feta or goat cheese, or savory ingredients like grilled chicken or salmon.
- Make it a Meal: Turn your salad into a complete meal by adding protein-rich ingredients like grilled or roasted meats, tofu, or legumes. This creates a balanced and satisfying dish.
- Presentation Matters: Arrange the salad components aesthetically on a plate or in a bowl. A visually appealing salad is more inviting and enjoyable to eat.
