he famous, late Brazilian
landscape architect
Roberto Burle Marx once
said simply, "I am a plant

eater."
When the weather's hot, like it's
been of late, plants become more a
part of our diets than at any other
time of the year. Out come the
greens. And the reds, purples and
oranges that make up the ingredi-

"salad."
While in the past, Americans
thought of salad as merely a segue
to the entree, it's no longer fashion-

foods get shoved to the back of the
fridge or packed away and frozen, as
we make room for everything from

the garden. The salad spinner finds
a permanent, accessible spot on our
kitchen counter because at this time
of year, it's one of our most useful
tools.
The greens — leafy, sweet, bitter,
chewy and buttery — are the sub-
structure of what we most often
think of as salad. The peppers,
cucumbers, carrots and other vegeta-

necessary because they are what
attract us visually with fork in hand
to stab at our salad.
While the word "iceberg" sounds
great when the temperature teases
90, it is certainly not the only leafy
green in town. Once considered a
delicacy, iceberg or head lettuce, as
some call it, is the low man on the
totem pole compared to such exotic
soundinat, greens as radicchio,
romaine, spinach, endive and esca-
