Meera Sodha’s San Francisco salad of bread and olives | The New Vegan
An inspiring dish at one of the city’s landmark restaurants has evolved into this sunny bread salad
I ate the best bread salad of my life at Zuni Cafe in San Francisco in 2015, came back home and regularly ate a variation on it for at least a year afterwards.
Over time, those variations became bolder and wilder, until just a faint shadow of the original existed. Hence today’s recipe, which adopts the currants, olive oil, pine nuts and bread of the prototype, but is in every other way different.
