We had ourselves a very Maryland holiday weekend. Which is to say, we had steamed crabs with Grammy, Boppy, Erin, Sarah, Eric and Olivia. We liked the salad that Grammy served so much that we “re-imagine” it tonight.

Dinner was just fantastic—just the right balance between sweet and spicy, heavy and light. To go with the salad, we serve some huevos rancheros, which we top them with a pineapple salsa. We bought the salsa after sampling it at Grammy’s house, so Grammy was quite the inspiration for this meal! The huevos are, in turn, served on top of some fried flour tortillas. The crispiness of the tortilla, the heartiness of the eggs and the sweetness and spiciness of the salsa combine for a worthy companion to a very good salad.
