Growing up in India, we never really ate salad. If we did, it was more of a simple Moroccan salad – onions, tomatoes, cilantro, vinegar, salt, pepper, etc. But when I came to the US over 13 years ago, I started eating salads. I was not a fan of the iceberg lettuce, ranch dressing salad (sorry to those who are), so I would have very little just to be polite 🙂
A few years later, when I finally had my own apartment, I started experimenting with different things and salads were easy to create and experiment with. This is one of my favorite salads and I found this in a book called Perfect Salads – a collection of over 100 essential recipes. It is ‘aromatique’!!
