SCHOP!ping in the Berkshires

Barely settled in, my hostess of the weekend, Lisa and I were off to Berry Farms to shop for something to compliment the porter house steaks to be grilled this evening. The verdict amongst gorgeous local produce and locally produced products?

Radish salad! Thinly sliced radish and celery, parsley, heirloom cherry tomatoes with shallot vinaigrette. Haven’t made this before, but the crispy, fresh sharpness of the salad sounds like the perfect foil for a fatty grilled steak.

Until then, I am taking in the view…

And enjoying some wine, local hickory and maple smoked cheese and pepper jelly.

It was the perfect salad for a steak dinner with Lisa’s wicked roasted potatoes and a bottle of Cab.
