Ever the salad sleuth, I bravely order them even in the most unlikely spots. Like an old-world Italian restaurant in a small town in Wisconsin. In the dead of winter.
They had me at farro, gruyere and toasted pistachio at Cannova’s in Neenah, Wisconsin. Originally from Freeport, Illinois, some variation of this beloved classic restaurant has been around since Anthony Cannova, a native of Sicily, founded it in 1921.
Our group of friends felt the restaurant family’s dedication to good food on a recent Friday night. The yummy pizza and Alfredo sauce may be their pride and joy, but it was the whole grain salad that I couldn’t wait to recreate at home….
