Chef Linton Hopkins paired this dish with his Braised Chicken Thighs (see separate recipe listing) for his Evening Edge Dinner Dare challenge.
“The beauty of this salad is that you don’t dirty another bowl with mixing,” says Hopkins. “It’s all prepared right on the serving plate.”
The key is freshness. “You can also use romaine or other greens -- even iceberg, if that’s what you like."
Don't mix the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. “You don’t want a gloppy dressing and you don’t want to use another bowl," he says.
The balsamic and olive oil should be of a high quality. With both, a little goes a long way.
