Darn! Now why didn’t I see this earlier. One usually thinks of cherries in desserts. A saald with cherries is a terrific idea. It looks so yummy!

Thank you very much! And great suggestion. I love apricots and think they’d be lovely in this as well. We’re out of season now, but there are other ways to consider, right?

Thanks ; ) I’m pretty upbeat about this right now so go figure! Any time I can rescue an ingredient from the depths of my fridge is a good day. And I’m reformed on thinking about how cherries fit into something other than a dessert, so anything goes now. Wait. I do believe I’ve tried them with roasted pork not too long ago? Hmmmm….

Hmmm… I just happen to have an abundance of Rainier cherries in my fridge as well. I think this is the point where I thank you for the inspiration (been looking for new ways to use them & haven’t tried them in green salad yet).

Beautiful photography, as always. I’ve only recently started using fruits in salads and think it’s such a delicious change, especially (as you say) with bitter greens. I’d definitely recommend trying apricots if you can get them. Can’t wait to see you work your way through Bittman’s book!
