Fruit In Salad: Usually Nay. For This Salad, Definitely Yay.

Aite. And here we are with course 3 of the Big Ass Dinner Party. Check out course 1 for some sesame / salmon / noodle jam and course 2 for some korean braised beefy yum. I then served this refreshing salad third: Tangerine and Fennel over Greens.

All the recipes on Go Meat Yourself are mine unless I say otherwise. That isn’t to say that I am the first chick to braise beef in that combination of ingredients or put some goddamn sesame seeds on a piece of salmon. It means that I didn’t follow a recipe. Or rather, followed 12 recipes and took the best parts from them all and made my own shit. Anyway, this salad was taken exactly, step by step, from Bon Appetit Magazine, thee most annoying food magazine I’ve ever read. Actually, the only one I ever read? Until I tried Food and Wine. Which I’m going to order cause they shut the fuck up and put some recipes on paper. As opposed to this Bon Appetite bullshit that was trying to make me feel bad for not picking my own pig shit truffles in the county side of italy. This is brooklyn and I’m working on a budget. Fug off.

Anyway, another note. For those of you that don’t put fruit in your salads, I totally understand. I’m not one of those freaks that is trying to put strawberries or cranberries up with my greens or tuna or even tangine. BUTT, this combination is like snacks in bed, like tequila and lime, like tacos and me, like hollywood whores and bare vagina. What I’m saying is, try this shit. It’s good. It’s tangy. It’s meant to be.

Go here for the recipe: Tangerine and Fennel over Greens.
