Last Friday, my good friend Sara invited me over for dinner. Our night had the perfect recipe: a jug of beer from Beyond the Pale (it’s local and fabulous); a loaf of bread from Art is In (one of Ottawa’s yummiest places to eat); belly-laughs (Sara’s pretty funny); and great conversation. Oh, and this amazing salad.
P.S. Perfect for a picnic or a pot luck.
