A time to be selfish
Cucumber, fennel, & orange salad, roasted piquillo peppers stuffed with goat cheese
To the left are small, sweet, roasted piquillo peppers stuffed with an herbed goat cheese. These peppers are sold by the pound in the deli case and are similar to Solera’s version. My usual deli case favorite is Broders’ Beet Salad, $12/lb, made with tender slices of beet, oranges, & red onion in a citrus vinaigrette. I did not see the beet salad this evening so I tried a salad made of shaved cucumber, fennel, and orange in an herbed vinaigrette. While refreshing, this salad had a strong herbal flavor and did not replace my craving for beet salad.
Emilia Salad, Large, $7.95
This salad is made of mixed greens, Parmesan shaves, silky and translucent slices of prosciutto, pine nuts, and onions. The sweet and tangy dressing is made with Broders’ balsamic vinegar which is relatively affordable and syrupy for it’s price point.
House-made Foccacia, $2.95 and Olivata Nero
Eggplant Special Pizza, 18 inches, $19
