The many layers of Gâteau de Crêpes aux Fraise are festive and satisfying year-round, but they feel special at Easter as a nod to those Catholic and Orthodox traditions that relinquish eggs and dairy during Lent and return to them joyously when honoring the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Whatever you do to make this salad your own, the combination of a nutty starch with vinaigrette and crisp vegetables is wonderfully satisfying. Make this the destination for your excess summer vegetables, or serve it alongside fresh farmer’s market tomatoes, sliced thin with salt, pepper, and a touch of olive oil.
