This morning, Francesca and I had a girls’ brunch date at my place.
We found that cashmere-blend sweater she’s wearing on one of our trips to the Salvation Army ($2!). Love it.
44 1/2 Chop Salad (check out the video here)
What you need:
A mix of fresh greens (we used Boston lettuce and radicchio)
Grilled and diced red and yellow peppers (just set them on an open flame on the stove, turning them occasionally until they turn black, and then run them under ice water to remove the skin)
How to chiffonade:
This is a cutting technique that can be used on any flat, leafy food (such as spinach, basil, and mint). It quickly creates uniform, elegant curls.
Stack the leaves of your herb or green (pictured above: mint) and roll them together tightly. Place on a cutting board, and with a sharp knife cut across the rolled leaves to produce fine ribbons. Separate ribbons and use as desired.
To see a demonstration of the technique, go to 4:55 in this video.
