5 stars!
I've not eaten at Chef Alice Waters' restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, CA, but from what I've heard and read about her, this dish is a great example of her philosophy -- fresh, healthy (and "clean") food that tastes amazing.
When I read the ingredient list and recipe, my thought was, "How good could this be? Sounds too simple and a little blah. Well, we need to eat healthy and need a quick recipe for a weekday dinner, so let's try this out."
My expectations were surpassed by tenfold. This is a VERY flavorful dish with lots of texture/crunch -- plus, it's extremely healthy!
Main ingredients include: tortillas, Monterey Jack cheese, mixed baby greens, fennel, carrot, radishes, cilantro
Ingredients for the dressing: extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, ground cumin and Kosher salt
Perhaps I should invest in an Alice Waters cookbook. . .
