Benediction: Bruleed apricots, Greek yogurt with a hint of lime, pressed red raspberries,  and my own addition - a mint sprig. Hats off to Chef Shea Gallante for a great finish to an excellent set.

A picture named the plated meal.jpg

 

Thinly-sliced beef and potato salad rest on a bed of olive viniagrette dusted watercress and await the fork.

Mint and tarragon leaves finish the gazpacho, which turned out a little runny this time. Last week, I gave it more time in the food processors and was slightly more patient pressing it. Little details make a difference, but the taste is still supra-orbital.

Afterthought: Probably could have rescued this, when I realized it was thin, by processing the pulp remaining after pressing and working it a second time. I'm making a mental note of that because this menu is a keeper.

Had I used white potatoes, we'd have red, white, and green in the potato salad too. Leeks and piquillo peppers do their part as green and red.

Watermelon, fresh mozzarella, and avocado contribute the red, white, and green motif as soup toppings.
