The Succotash Salad is a great appetizer to start your lunch. Garnished with edible flowers, the red, green and yellow peppers give the presentation of the dish a remarkable display. The cucumbers, tomatoes and a splash of vinegar add a zesty taste and transforms traditional succotash into a truly delightful untraditional dish.

The texture of the succotash is crunchy and the aroma is seductive. If you have never tried succotash make sure you come to LA Spice and experience succotash done right. Once you have had your succotash at LA Spice you will make a special trip to the Westside of Los Angeles to get it.

An alternative to the Succotash Salad is the Grilled Steak and Stone Fruit Salad. This salad is more for a meat lover. Hefty portions of steak sit on top of mixed baby greens. Garnished with burrata cheese and pepitas with a sprinkle of balsamic dressing, the Grilled Steak and Stone Fruit Salad is filling and rich.

Meat eaters may love this salad, however it is very heavy just for a salad. The burrata cheese is bitter and salty.

I am not usually a pork person. I try to stay away from pork. But I have to tell you, one of the waitresses recommended the Star Anise Braised Pork Belly Banh Mi. If you are not a pork eater, this sandwich just may make you eat pork more often. The meat was tender and juicy, drizzled with Anise sauce and a hoisin-peanut spread the pork was savory. Basil, cilantro and pickled vegetables add a sweet flavor to the pork. The Star Anise Braised Pork Belly Banh Mi is a luscious choice for an entrée.
