I recently came across a salad so exceptional that it made me hopeful for the future. The lettuces responsible for this flutter of optimism weren't your typical green insalate: They were a rainbow-hued selection of biodynamically grown flowers, herbs, and leaves handpicked from the gardens of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Piazza Duomo in Al...
