Toss Your Salad!

[wilson]

Put me in the camp with pickle lovers as long as they're not on my salad. I could imagine a few varieties of salads that would benefit from cornichons, but not many.

Hooray for cornichons! My French host family turned me on to them back in 1997, and I came back wondering where I could get them. Turns out that the only place around here is the giant Dekalb Farmer's Market (where else?), where they are dirt cheap. I buy some every time I go there.

I absolutely adore pickles, but they wouldn't be my first addition to a salad.

+1 to all of this, but my point from above remains: If you don't like pickles, you must be some kind of damned Communist.

Must be my years in Asia.

um, I know I'm about to sound like an idiot, but what's a cornichon?

Cornichon is French for gherkin. It most often refers to a pickled gherkin.They're usually pretty tart, seedless and pretty small. wilson, look for them in Middle Eastern Food Markets. The EarthFare olive bar has them and there's a great French bakery in Charlotte that serves pâté and cornichons sandwiches on their freshly baked baguettes. They're knock your socks of good. Mmmmmmm.

Granny Smith apples, toasted walnuts, dried cranberries, bacon, bleu cheese, mixed greens and my own maple vinaigrette dressing.
Love, Ima
