DID YOU KNOW? When it comes to food, "deconstruction" — a riff on the term coined by French philosopher Jacques Derrida — it refers to the idea of breaking apart elements traditionally combined together to make a dish and serving the items separately in a unique way. Chicken Caprese Wedge Salad with Bacon is the perfect example of food deconstruction. It has all the elements of a Caprese Salad but presented in a non-traditional way. The meal was served with Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. Recipe previously posted  https://sockfairies.blogspot.com/2020/05/strawberry-rhubarb-pie.html
