Main course salads rarely go unappreciated. Cafe Drake put a Mexican twist on a lunchtime entree staple by tossing crisp Romaine leaves with pickled Bird's Eye chilies, black olives, crumbly cotija cheese and shredded chicken. For a change of pace, try - as above - serving your greens with warmed tortillas instead of croutons or bread. It's easy and takes about as much time as toasting bread: with tongs, hold fresh corn tortillas over an open stove flame and turn to brown equally. Dark spots are fine and add a grilled flavor. Rub with butter if desired.
Two of our favorite flavors from The D P Chutney Collective are their Spice Route Citrus Chutney and the Carrot and Nigella Seed Chutney.
