French Potato Salad Recipe

A little while back, I read an article highlighting Julia Child’s home in Provence and the fact that it was for sale. An interested buyer had come forth, and as I perused the photos of the home, I enviously wondered who would be the lucky person to live in that home. Fortunately, the buyer has decided to rent out the home to interested tourists, which means there’s a chance that one day, each of us might have the opportunity to stay in Julia’s beautiful, historic home. Wouldn’t that be a dream? Kind of like this French potato salad, which is a spin off of Julia Child’s and Jacques Pepin’s recipe.

Winter Citrus Salad

Before I started shopping for my produce at the farmer’s market, I really didn’t know which fruits and vegetables belonged to which season. Aside from the watermelon that I could only find in the summer, I was pretty clueless when it came to choosing the best produce for the season. It wasn’t until I bought a particularly sweet and wonderful batch of oranges during one winter day at the farmer’s market that I realized there was a difference. There are definitely fruits and vegetables that have heightened flavor and quality during certain times of the year, and this includes the oranges and spinach I used to create this winter citrus salad.
