Many think of the hottest part of summer as ideal salad days, but I also think the beginning of the end of winter is also great for salad. And I'm not talking about any old salad; I'm contemplating spicy-sweet flavors with as many textures as your heart desires. It's time to start thinking spring!
When Mother Nature tosses a blend of grey clouds, snow, rain, and sleet your way, it's easy to find yourself yearning for spring. And, while it might not be time for that just yet, you can easily fool your kitchen into bringing the spirit of spring to your table. Break out your skillets and take a crack at crepes filled with fresh mushrooms, chives, and smothered in a simple hollandaise sauce. Makes me think spring every time.
