We all have our favorite culinary personalities.

I like to think of them a bit like sports teams for non-sports people (like me).

And, as such, I am a longtime member of Team Ina.

Her breezy effortlessness, her warmth, and her simple-yet-flawless recipes have consistently won me over for years now.

(Thats why we love her.)

The emphasis is on treating great ingredients really well.

The very French lemon vinaigrette ties the whole thing together the way the perfect scarf completes Inas daily uniform.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how it improves over time.

This salad is the perfect accompaniment to a big, meaty main dish, likea whole roast chickenor slow-cookedbrisket.

But it would also be a welcome addition to a brunch.

I love a surprise brunch salad because it cuts through the sometimes monotonous menu of eggs and egg-adjacent dishes.

Or pack it up with some grilled chicken for a desk lunch that actually improves over time.
