Inspirations are all around us. With cooking and for most chefs inspiration come from the local Market and the amazing
seasonal produce on sale. At all different times of the year you will have an abundance of different fruits and vegetables you only get for one period of the year, a time to indulge in abundance. With memories of winter fading, tender shoots, young sprouts and fresh greens begin pushing their way through the warming soil. Green peas and firm asparagus are at their peak. Plump red strawberries and fragrant pineapples sweeten market shelves.
Inspiration for this Spring Salad dish came from a friend, as the sun and warmth of spring takes place and we all head out doors for al fresco dinning, tending to now steer clear of those heavy winter dishes i was inspired not only by the spring but also my friend Massimo Coppetti who i made this dish for, trying to display his character on a plate. One of color and fragrance, an aromatic balance of sweetness and sour the Coppetti Salad was born.
