FARM LETTUCE SALAD
THE LESSON: Croutons don’t own crunch
Yes, the paper-thin squash, salty cheese and tangy lemon dressing make this salad incredible. But don’t discount the pistachios, which do way more for texture (not to mention heart-healthy fats) than croutons ever could. – Recipe by Michael Paley, chef/owner of Amara at Paraiso in Miami
