Every week we take a peek inside the lunches of the luckiest kids in Brooklyn. Read on, suppress your jealousy, and get a little brown bag inspiration.
I thought I came up with an original idea for Walker and Addie's lunch today -- tomato salad and leftover roasted onions and potatoes on top of greens -- and then I saw that Marian beat me to it with her Not Sad Desk Lunch today! It turns out that leftovers-on-salad works for adults and children alike. The roasted potatoes are the work of my husband Tad (you can find his recipe here; his latest variation is to add chopped yellow onion, which gets candied in the oven heat). The greens are baby kale from Earthbound Farm. And the tomato salad is just a fresh beefsteak, chopped up and dressed. For some heft, I included a wedge of Cantal. And for sweetness, an Italian plum from the greenmarket. Their season is so brief, we eat them every day.
