Frisee with Green Beans, Cranberry Beans, Cherry Tomatoes, Herbed Croutons and Sherry-Garlic Vinaigrette at West Town Tavern
Frisee with Green Beans, Cranberry Beans, Cherry Tomatoes, Herbed Croutons and Sherry-Garlic Vinaigrette ($7.50)
I love this combination of crisp green beans, creamy cranberry beans, sharp frisee and crunchy croutons. The cherry tomatoes add juicy flavor to the tangy sherry vinaigrette and the whole is like a fresh, light panzanella.
Pairing: Recommended wine: 2011Château Routas Rosé $9.50/glass
