You weren’t aware this past month of Minimalist salads was a competition? Get with the program. Everything in my life is a competition. And so, even though I only got around to 18 of Mark Bittman’s 101 salads of summer, here is my definitive list of favorites.
Most prettiest: Number Forty-Nine. Hands down.
Most innovative: the Chicago hot dog salad.
Most elegant: that one that was like the tapas thing I ordered once.
Most warm and fuzziest: grilled cheese in a salad?!
Best: the techno salad remix. Even if it does need a better bass line.
Salad I would most liked to have tried, but will never ever have the ingredients to do so: Number 68—
Mix crab meat with pan-roasted corn, chopped avocado, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice and perhaps a bit of cilantro and crumbled ancho chili.
Goodbye, Mr. Bittman. I will probably stop in sometime to mine your salady delights again, but for now, this is the end.
