The episode was from the night the Obamas showed up. There is a really very touching discussion of a salad that was prepped and served to the Obamas, and it noted that the dressing was composed of blended salad greens along with the vinaigrette basics.
Using blended salad greens in the dressing is a new one for me. But as soon as things get springy and fresh around here, I'm going to try it. It sounds perfect!
[Obvs Chef Fischer could easily be an egulleter; if so, hi! Loved your tender Moth segment.]
Thanks for mentioning this, @SLB! I listened to it last night. It's a good story and I thought his description of the salad, including the blended greens in the dressing and the young girl who made it using local, family-grown produce was absolutely lovely.
If anyone else wants to listen, here's a link to that story on The Moth and (edited to add) a link to his family's farm, Beetlebung Farm that contains info on his cookbook.
