Chickpea Pita Salad with Sweet & Sour Date Vinaigrette

March 4, 2022 2 Comments

It’s been a week. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you why? I’m sure your stress levels are also high and your spirits low. But hey, we’re surviving even if we’re not necessarily thriving. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve leaned on comfort food quite a lot this past week. I submit my previous post for Chili Fries as evidence of this. So, as this emotionally draining week drew to a close, I actually found myself craving a salad. And I’m pleased to say, this Chickpea Pita Salad with Sweet and Sour Date Vinaigrette was exactly what my overwrought nervous system wanted and needed.

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. So to roll it in potato starch, egg, and panko before deep-frying it is a, um, little much. But we are in the middle of February and Valentine’s Day adjacent, so I’d say a little indulgence is allowed, advisable even. So rather than question the virtuousness of this dish, let’s just make it, enjoy it, and move on with our lives.

Okay, here’s a mash-up no one asked for. California roll meets cobb salad. I will admit, the two classics don’t exactly spring to mind simultaneously. It takes a truly disorganized food-obsessed brain to arrange this meeting. But I must say, I was pretty pleased with this bit of fusion when all was said and done. The two fed into each other surprisingly well. I hate when fusion feels forced, so I’m happy to report this California Roll Cobb Salad came together without a fight. Frankly, the two seem designed for each other. So let’s set about mashing them together, shall we?
