Day 7: Fresh ingredients.

Start with this.

Crisp red, orange and yellow peppers. Briny Kalamata olives. Delicate organic greens. Tangy artichoke hearts. Meaty Copper River salmon. Al dente orzo. Salty feta cheese. Bracing yet smooth white wine Parmesan vinaigrette.

End up with this.

We were inspired by this recipe as a base, but didn’t follow it anywhere near to the letter. This was one salad night where I didn’t walk away hungry (or scrounge around the kitchen for snacks later). What’s your favorite hearty salad?
