Q: My parents are always nagging me to eat more vegetables. I like the crib salad at Shorty’s so much, I wouldn’t mind eating my greens if we could make it at home. Any way you could get the recipe? That would really be cool.
Coleman Quinn, Decatur
A: Shorty’s Crib (attention oldsters: That’s “house” in MTV-speak) Salad has a crisp, clean dressing that makes it very tasty, but co-owner Bryan Wilson says the very best thing about it is the name. “It’s just a vinaigrette recipe that we developed ourselves, with a blend of balsamic and sherry vinegars,” he said. “But we gave it a sassy name.”
The folks at Shorty’s make up to 3 gallons of dressing at a time, but we’ve reduced it to about 1 cup here.
To make Shorty’s Crib Salad, toss this dressing with mixed field greens, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and garnish with cucumber slices and pitted kalamata olives.
