在安慰食物季,我的首選是沙拉

After holiday indulgences, I am craving salad. Itshould be bitter crunchy and acidic. I need the brightcolor and the snap of greens. Every January, I headstraight for the bitter lettuces to build a bowlfulcertain to be a welcome guest when my friends andfamily gather for game day or a snow-day Netflixbinge.

節(jié)假日胡吃海塞之后，我最想念的還是有點兒酸苦但又松脆的沙拉。我想吃顏色鮮麗的綠色食物。每年一月份，當朋友或家人聚在一起打游戲或下雪天追劇的時候，我都會選擇略帶苦味的生菜做一份沙拉歡迎他們。

Making salad for a crowd is best when the effort is an intentional confluence of ingredients. Adressed party salad needs to hold up for a couple of hours on a buffet table without browning orwilting.

用心制作的沙拉對于一群好友而言是最佳食物。舉行派對時，主人需要確保放在自助餐桌上的沙拉不會在數(shù)小時內(nèi)變色或蔫掉。

Because they are widely available, radicchio and Belgian endive go into my winter salad. If youcan find puntarelle, frisee or mache, mix and match your greens at will. But do make sure tochop the sturdier leaves into bite-size pieces. The juicy apple bits could just as easily be pear orgrapefruit or clementine. Adding the crunch of sunflower seeds, toasted of course, makes animpeccable topping, but pepitas, sliced almonds and pistachios are welcome substitutions.

因為菊苣和比利時菊苣在冬天較為常見，所以我喜歡將其加入沙拉中。如果能買到菊苣莖、苦苣或野苣，你也可以把它們放在沙拉中隨意搭配(只要確保將較為脆嫩的菜葉切成小塊)。多汁的蘋果塊也可以換成梨、葡萄柚或小柑橘。再放些烘焙過的脆瓜子(無可挑剔的裝飾配料)，但南瓜子、切片杏仁和開心果也是不錯的替代品。

A citrusy vinaigrette brings the elements together; using Meyer lemon softens the acidic edgejust a bit yet still offsets the bitter greens. You also can use standard lemons and add a touchmore honey. I'm looking forward to making the vinaigrette with blood oranges when they are inseason.

倒入些許柑橘香醋，很好地將這些配料融合在一起;野檸檬可略微減輕酸味，同時中和綠葉蔬菜的苦味。當然，你也可以選擇普通檸檬，然后多加些蜂蜜。好期待血橙上市啊，這樣我就可以將它加入沙拉中了。

 

 

By the way, if you have a special honey that arrived in a gift box, use it. I was delighted when Imade the dressing recently with one that was chili-infused. I double this vinaigrette recipe, andI use a splash or two to flavor leftover roasted vegetables as well.

此外，家里有禮盒包裝的特制蜂蜜的朋友，可以用起來了。最近，我在沙拉中放了含有辣椒的蜂蜜，味道不錯。我用了雙份量的香醋，并將一兩滴沙拉水淋在烤蔬菜上調(diào)味。

Top the salad with the crunch of toasted nuts or seeds and then toss the whole thing usingyour hands. You can feel it: There is no better way to ensure the salad won't be overdressed. Yes, this is the salad I will lean on heavily through the winter months. Invite me, and I'll bring italong. That, and the hope of spring, will keep my spirits up.

沙拉的最上層可以放些烤堅果或種子，最后用手揉拌這盆沙拉。你也會這么覺得吧：沙拉無論怎么做都不為過。是的，冬日長漫漫，我就指望著沙拉過活了。邀請我去你家做客吧，我會自帶一份沙拉哦。沙拉、以及對春的希望，讓我保持情緒高漲。
