"Today's St. Louis quote of the day comes from renowned architect Eero Saarinen, who said, 'Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.' Let us remember the importance of considering the intricate relationship between architecture and the surrounding community as we continue to preserve and celebrate St. Louis's rich heritage."

🥬 Charred Romaine & Grilled Peach Salad with Blue Cheese Snow

🌟 Why It’s Unique:

• Combines smoky, sweet, tangy, and creamy in every bite

• Uses frozen crumbled blue cheese for a surprising melt-in-your-mouth “snow” texture

• Perfect for summer dinner parties or elevated solo lunches

• Char-grilling the romaine adds depth and flair rarely seen in salads

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

Base:

• 2 small heads romaine, halved lengthwise

• 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

• Olive oil (for grilling)

Toppings:

• ¼ cup frozen blue cheese crumbles (place in freezer 1–2 hours before serving)

• 2 tbsp crushed candied pecans or walnuts

• 1 tbsp pickled red onions (or thin-sliced shallots soaked in vinegar)

• Optional: microgreens for garnish

Smoky Honey-Dijon Dressing:

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp honey

• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Pinch of smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

🥄 Directions:

1. Lightly brush romaine and peaches with olive oil.

2. Grill peaches and romaine cut-side down on high heat for ~2–3 minutes until char marks appear.

3. Plate grilled romaine and sliced peaches.

4. Drizzle with dressing.

5. Top with pickled onions, candied nuts, and frozen blue cheese crumbles right before serving (they’ll melt slightly and create a creamy “snow” effect).

💡 Optional Add-On: Add grilled prosciutto-wrapped figs or a soft-poached egg for a luxurious upgrade.
