This will be our $9 lunch special on Wednesday at the Apple Farm Restaurant April 16th
Strawberry Salad
This salad is from our Chef de Cuisine Steven Smeets. Borrowed from the dinner menu and soon to be on our new lunch menu. It's Wednesday's $9 lunch special. It features fresh local strawberries from Santa Maria, toasted almonds, locally grown spring mix of baby leaf lettuce and chicories, 18 year old aged balsamic vinegar, peppery California olive oil and ricotta salata. Ricotta salata is an Italian cheese made from sheep milk. The whey
is pressed, salted then aged. It has a firm texture and salty taste, and is easily grated or crumbled. All elements of this salad add good texture and contrast of flavor to the final dish. Cheers!
