This a very unusual salad created by Chef Malouf, who earned a coveted three-star rating from The New York Times for Manhattan's beloved Rainbow Room. Before opening Beacon, he also cooked at the Four Seasons, La Cote Basque, the St. Regis Hotel, La Cremaillere (Banksville, New York) and the Hudson River Club.

I originally wanted to make this salad for Easter Dinner but didn't realize it needed to sit for 12 hours so I made it for the next day, and boy, am I glad I didn't serve it on Easter! It was extremely overpowering and one bite was all my husband and I could handle. Make sure you are prepared for an extremely strong, odorous salad.
