Sour

The tang in vinegar and the pop in citrus are examples of sour tastes. Sour flavors make humans salivate and prime the palette for richer flavors.

Hot Grain Cereal

The contrasting flavors of the sweet dried fruit and the moist, tart, fresh cranberries make this especially delicious. Put the leftovers in the refrigerator, if there are any leftovers, and enjoy it chilled tomorrow morning. I eat this almost every day.

Green Garlic Soba

A quintessentially spring meal and perfect introduction to green garlic in all it's glory. Limited ingredients and balanced wine/vinegar cooking liquid help to make garlic the star of this dish.

Mojito

This only seems to taste good when you make a whole pitcher. Everytime I've made a single mojito serving it ends up like crap, undrinkable. Use cheaper liquor and better limes for best results.

Potato Salad

Everyone likes potato salad, all the ingredients are cheap and it fills you up. Since you don't really need to splurge on any specialty ingredients, buy organic potatoes and eggs. This is well suited to improvisation, just be sure to limit yourself to a few quality ingredients and dress those potatoes while they are HOT!
