 Although I've learned to enjoy Colombian food, other than a handful of shaved lettuce, it's hard to find anything resembling a proper salad.  So why TF did I just discover "Cozy Ensaladas," just two blocks from where I live? The restaurant itself is beautiful: Welcoming smiles! Oh, the salad?  Delicious.  There's about two inches of lettuce below the plantain, pork, avocado and,cheese (hiding cherry tomatoes, corn and onions) but both dressings made the whole thing yummy. ($8.75).

It's Floralis Genérica in Buenos Aires. It's difficult to convey in pictures just how gigantic this thing is. It's meant to be a kinetic sculpture, with the petals closing every night, but when I was there, it was "undergoing maintenance." Welcome to South America! Astounding!!!!
