Cuisine - Saucy spring salad - Local Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a bit of a trend in smart restaurants to make really interesting salads. Chefs everywhere seem to be building on a tasty sauce-like base and then layering or placing their choice of salad vegetables, leaves and herbs around or on top of this. Recently, on a quick trip to Sydney, I was really excited by the punchy flavours of so much of the food in the restaurants we ate in.
