Salad thoughts




GREEK SALAD
Last night we plated a dinner for four. It was soup and salad with salad being the Greek Salad. We reduced the portion amounts from our last dinner and the result was perfect. The lettuce while only being reduced by half an ounce was still twenty five percent smaller on the plate. The total weight of the plate went from 8.5 to 7.5 oz. visually the smaller portion was on target. All four diners commented that the plate was very satisfying.
We only had 2 servings worth of Manouri cheese, so Rachel and I had an organic Feta cheese. We found the salad to be really salty do to the Feta and higher concentration of brined ingredients. The reduction of lettuce increased percentage of the brined products in the salad. With Feta it was a different experience. One on the salty side of town, so to speak. It really proved, what was resounded in the diner's reviews, of a wonderful balance. We are happy with this plate.
