Salad, Many Ways

I was back at the market this past weekend to make all things with salad. I often whip up a small salad to have with dinner but on other nights, salad is the star of the plate.
Radishes, salad greens and fresh herbs are ingredients that are popping up super-fresh at markets everywhere. So my recipe this week is basically a celebration of leafy greens with some adornments. Think of the salad as a supporting cast to the main dish.
Topping a grilled chicken breast or steak with salad is simply delicious…you get the crisp texture of fresh greens and veggies, and then the acidity from the vinaigrette, which results in a perfect compliment to the rich flavors of the grill and the meatiness of a steak.
