Chef Marcus Calderon of
I balance the sweetness of Bibb and romaine with bitter arugula and dandelion greens. Heartier greens like collards and beet tops help cut the richness of fat back, bacon, pulled pork, and country ham. Citrusy sorrel makes an excellent spring soup—blanch and puree it with cream and garlic.
I like to go seasonal when planning these platters. In spring I like to incorporate fresh berries, apricots, and cherries, as well as pickled asparagus spears, whole baby radishes, and roasted Chioggia beets.
I love the combination of crunchy and creamy, as in recipes like dilled cucumbers with sour cream, hummus topped with roasted chickpeas, and chia breakfast pudding topped with candied cashews and chopped mango.
