I despise winter. But I’m sure you already knew that. And now that we’re nearing the end of February, I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But it’s still far too far away for my liking, it’s practically a pinhole, which is depressing, to say the least. So what else can I do in this scenario other than crank up my SAD lamp and start up a new kitchen project like this Warm Duck Citrus Salad? Kitchen projects are the perfect distraction and really, in my book, the only alternative to staring out the window and crying at yet another dump of snow.

I am completely aware of how uncalled for this Fried Burrata Salad is. Burrata is a decadent treat all on its own.

If there’s one thing you can learn from today’s Kale Caesar Flatbreads it’s this: Salad is better when served on bread. I know, it’s not really a shocking discovery. Bread has a tendency to make everything better. But this recipe is not all about the bread, although it is spectacular. What you are looking at here is a fluffy flatbread topped with baby kale coated in a whipped feta caesar dressing topped with blood orange, thin slices of red onion, and marinated white anchovies. This is the stuff of dreams…well, my dreams at least. So let’s get into it.
