The tiny town of Taos is worth a visit for its setting alone. It’s surrounded by high-country plains set off by towering peaks. The Rio Grande River cuts a jagged gash through the desert- like terrain.
While the population of Taos is only about 6,000, it makes up in attractions what it lacks in size. In 1540, a Spanish expedition arrived to find magnificent pueblo structures in which Tiwa (pronounced TEE-wah) Indians lived.
A period of co-existence gave way to decades of conflict, then a land grant to Spanish families led to establishment of the town that would become Taos.

To take your salads to the next level, think of those greens as a blank slate for creativity and look beyond the bowl for elements that can help create new, satisfying meals.
