Mom, you call this a salad? The answer is: yes. I like salads where the vegetables are not raw. Lukewarm, even better. I just don’t like cold and raw food. So my salads are often already baked or prepared in the oven and then cooled. As far as I’m concerned, the dressing determines whether something can be called a salad or not. And of course there is always something raw. Like now the kumquats and the blood orange. Soooo.
