A Spring Salad That'll Put a Pep in your Step

Spring has finally arrived in the Nation's capital and that, at least for me, means the seasonal reintroduction of some of my favorite fruit and vegetable salads. A few years ago, I stumbled across (and immediately purchased) Ina Garten's Barefoot in Paris - Easy French Food You Can Make at Home, which now happens to be one of my favorite cookbooks. Not only are Garten's recipes French-centric (ooh la la), but each featured dish is easy to make and sure to impress.
