Coincidentally, as it was time to make this recipe, I was craving some baked sweet potatoes and today, I'm actually craving this exact salad again. Let’s just jump right into talking about this tasty dish because, obviously, I'm hungry.
Don’t know about you but celery root intimidates me. It looks really complicated to deal with and I’ve never cooked with it before now. I never cooked anything with tarragon either. But I’m a sucker for prosciutto on anything so I knew this recipe would be good despite the other mysterious ingredients.
The pink-ness of this salad got me pretty excited to eat it. Combine that with the tasty-ness of watermelon and mint and this recipe seems like a sure hit. I say, “seems like” because this recipe didn’t exactly turn out the way I expected.
As soon as I saw this salad’s name, I was ready to feel fancy for less. Duck á l’Orange is a dish I grew up seeing all over the place but never actually ate because it usually requires an entire roasted duck. The duck and orange salad appeared like it could be a promising substitution.
I was stoked to cook this recipe as soon as I saw it while flipping through the cookbook for the first time. I love avocados, dill, and smoked salmon so the idea of combining these ingredients sounded like a match made in heaven. Let's find out!
Call me crazy but I’ve never heard of fava beans before reading this recipe. I have since discovered that fava beans are also known as “broad beans” which I have heard of. Why confuse everyone like this?? Oh, just me? Ok. Moving on.
