Scandinavian Seas

Hunting & Gathering

How to create the perfect salad: start from the bottom and work your way up. Step one: lettuce—choose the most crisp, market-fresh mixed greens for your base. Step two: veggies—stick with the classic cherry tomatoes and add a worldwide favorite—mega avocado slices. Step three: proteins—forget boring chicken or steak and go for the bounty of the sea. Grab a few slices of slightly oily (the good kind), tangerine-hued Nova salmon and extra-large juicy pink shrimp, chilled. Step four: dressing—tried and true balsamic with an unexpectedly creamy consistency, like the classic found at Main Street staple C'est La Vie. And finally—give yourself a break and have a real chef make it for you: aka the French culinary wizards at Lolita Tartine. It's called the Scandinave and it is perfect.
