Yes, I’m a girl and yes, I love Sex And The City. Why? Because there are parts of me in each of the four main characters. They’re fun and funny and fabulously flawed. Their friendship is supportive and honest. They swear like sailors and talk about men and sex over salads. The guys in their lives are weird, wacky, wonderful. The subject matter is not for the faint of heart, but SATC is enormously addictive!

sex and the city salad
Occasionally, we see the SATC women at the gym. Occasionally. I guess that’s why their usual fare is salad. Here, I’ve added dates to the salad since that’s what the girls are usually dishing about.

1 bag mesclun or spring mix
1 head endive, chopped
4 large radishes, trimmed & sliced
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 sweet red pepper, diced
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 tbsp minced fresh chives
6 pitted dates, chopped

Toss ingredients together and divide among four large salad plates. Spoon Sex And The City Vinaigrette over each salad (recipe follows).

sex and the city vinaigrette
2 shallots, finely minced
3 tbsp ketchup
1/4 tsp dry mustard
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup canola oil

In a medium bowl, whisk salad dressing ingredients. Refrigerate and let flavours blend for about 1 hour.

Serve with a medium-bodied buttery Chablis or Chardonnay.
