This salad was inspired by my favorite salad at the now closed, Campanile, created by renowned chef Nancy Silverton (of Osteria Mozza), Mark Peel and Manfred Frankl. It has actually been closed since 2012. Sniff, sniff. The restaurant was beautifully housed in one of Charlie Chaplin’s former offices on La Brea Boulevard in Los Angeles and the food was uncomplicated yet inventive and impeccable.

This recipe was originally developed for my cookbook, Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic. I was a long time fan of deviled eggs and adding curry powder was my special touch. Now I have revamped the recipe to include crispy Basmati Rice and Indian lime pickle which is at once spicy and tangy.

Here, finally is that nettle soup I promised you a few weeks ago. Nettle is another one of my favorite nutritional powerhouses. High in minerals and antioxidants including vitamin C. It may reduce inflammation, treat hay fever, lower blood pressure, aid in lowering blood sugar and treat enlarged prostate
