About
For the last 180° Dining event I featured a remake of the classic Salade Niçoise. I then featured it on FOX 31 TV to promote our "Ten ingredients in Ten minutes" challenge that we are doing in tandem with The Food TV Network to commemorate our schools Ten Year Anniversary. Finally, I took advantage of the same dish to present it as my next entry on Bauscher's "Deep Plate" blog. That's how to get mileage out of an idea.
