OMG. So delicious. Alone worth the trip to Eataly.
I assume they used Batali’s recipe – it is, after all, his place. So I tried it myself. Pretty darned good. Try it.
If you haven’t been to Eataly, add it to your must-do list for NYC. (Thanks, Rachel for turning us on to it..) It’s a huge Italian market, food court, restaurant and people scene rolled into one. Think Reading Terminal Market meets the Italian Market meets Dean & DeLuca meets Whole Foods. Go after hours to avoid the pressing crowds (they’re open daily till 11 pm), but know that the freshly made gnocci may be gone by then.

I just got home from the market and actually thought about this salad while I was cruising the produce section, but didn’t pick up the asparagus. Now I see this. Guess what I want? This salad. I’ll have to keep Eataly in mind next time we’re in NYC. Thanks for the mention!
