Archival photo of a recipe I developed many years ago, Ensalada Arcoiris (Rainbow Salad), so named because of its Mexican/Southwestern US character and the fact that it comprises almost every color of the rainbow plus black and white. “Almost” is the operative word because it lacks anything blue. Yes, I tried huitlacoche (😋) which can be sort of bluish, but I didn’t like what it brought to the dish; same for butterfly pea flower rice; blueberries are more purple than blue once pierced, but I’ll keep thinking. This particular combination of fruits and vegetables is not uncommon, but the dressing is its pot of gold: juice from sour oranges and limes, chipotles in adobo sauce, and a few secrets of course.

I realize that it doesn’t fall under the banner of Cooking in the Time of COVID, but I thought we all could use a rainbow about now. 🌈
