The Easy Ina Garten Recipe I Make at Least Twice a Week
Not too long ago I had a salad that stopped me in my tracks and sent me on the hunt for a salad dressing to recreate it. The object of my obsession was a deceptively simple green salad at Westward, a waterfront restaurant in Seattle.

Even without an espresso machine, a milk frother, or other toys of the trade, you can make a pretty decent latte at home — and yes, it will have a beautiful cap of foam.
