This colorful menu is filled with the fresh flavors of spring!  From one of my favorite all-time cookbooks, Martha Stewart’s Dinner At Home, the main event is seared salmon (we decided to grill it instead) topped with a creamy sauce made with leeks, chives, white wine and a touch of heavy cream. Half of the sauce is pureed for a smooth consistency and the other left studded with the sliced leeks for texture.  The cooked salmon is then served with peppery greens, a dilled rice salad (we added in sliced radishes), and sugar snap peas with toasted almonds.  And just when you thought the menu couldn’t get any better, a lovely raspberry and mint-flavored gelatin for dessert.  You’ll find that sweet treat’s recipe in tomorrow’s post…
