Three geeeorgous salads…. All so very different, but yet very much the same. All have elements of both savory and sweet.

All are featured today on Creative Loafing’s Eat …

Every gal knows the benefit of a little black dress.  We talk about them so often, we can’t even be bothered to spell out little-black-dress, usually referencing LBD for short.
