Composed salads take on a whole new meaning at Alinea. Inspired by the peach and Burrata salad, our grilled version features peppery watercress and a honey vinaigrette. There is no better place to procure fresh fruit and vegetables than straight from the farmers themselves. And there’s no better way to serve them than in a beautifully composed salad.
