Contrasts make life more interesting. Even in the salad world.

Listen to this article 5 min Listen to this article 5 min There's fruit in this salad, but it isn't a fruit salad. It's not that can that your mom opened when you were a kid, and spooned some into a bowl, poured over some of the juices from the tin, and finished it with some runny cream.
