Salad á la France

Food touches the senses in so many ways, not the least by evoking memories. I first had these ingredients in 2007, at Le Cercle, a brasserie near the Jardins de Luxembourg in Paris.
Having ordered the salmon salad, I was greeted by a plate of colorful and refreshingly tasty grapefruit sections, slices of avocado, radishes and salmon (lox) on a bed of greens. I've remade it multiple times since then, and this version substituted an orange for the grapefruit.

In the spirit of the Japanese, Garr Reynolds, and my son who is currently living in Brussels (and used to live in Japan), I share this picture!

November enjoyments

Hubby and younger son baked me a birthday apple pie, and my cool Boston brother-in-law surprised me with a Bartels Harley Davidson leather biker jacket! Palindromic birthday, yeehah!
