a study in contrasts
Tonight for dinner, I had a light couscous salad as the main dish, and baked asparagus with cheese as the side. The two could hardly have been more different — the couscous salad was cold and bright and springy, with just enough tuna to anchor the flavor; the veggies in it were crisp and fresh. The asparagus with cheese was rich and creamy and warm, the asparagus soft and melting, the only brightness a touch of cayenne and dill.
Yet the two played well together, the salad a light melody to the asparagus’s harmonic line; all the taste of spring with an echo of warm winter comfort.
