Salad Days

Hunting & Gathering

Continuing with the trend of beautiful, unexpected salads, we come upon the lovely lunch Triple Bibb Lettuce salad at Boca Sarasota. Hand-sized cups of buttery Bibb lettuce get pulled straight from the Uriah's grow wall inside the eatery, a spread of sliced oranges, the natural sucrose caramelizing on the top, encircling the plate. Seven secret herbs add a subtle depth to the champagne vinaigrette, with blistered tomatoes only enhancing the smoky elements and setting off the oranges' sweet. Add some grilled pink shrimp for a splash of salty, or spiced chicken (soaked in buttermilk) for a healthy indulgence. 

Boca Kitchen, Bar & Market, 19 South Lemon Ave., Sarasota, 941-256-3565.
