This salad is simple and hearty. It hits all the right notes and can work as a simple main meal or as a side. Grilled chicken is an optional add on while a drizzle of honey can bring some sweetness. Find the salad recipe here.

This recipe was inspired by the Catalan tradition of eating wonderfully dark and grilled calçots with a creamy fresh romesco sauce. The leeks respond really well to an intense heat like this and work beautifully with the richness of the sauce. I serve it as a side dish and it always goes down well.
