Description
Julia child says, "a handsomely arranged combination salad can be the solution for what to serve at an informal spur-of-the-moment meal. The trick is to toss all of the elements separately in vinaigrette, letting some marinate for 10-20 minutes if they need to take on flavor. Then … Arrange your work of art, each part of it is perfectly seasoned."
