If you are undecided on your next meal and have trouble deciding if you want breakfast, a sandwich, or even have a craving for Mexican food, it\u2019s time to pay a visit to Claire\u2019s Corner Copia<\/a> located Downtown. Owner Claire Criscuolo opened the restaurant, over 46 years ago, with her beloved late husband, Frank.\u00a0 Claire has been feeding the residents of New Haven delicious vegetarian fare before vegan, gluten-free eats were in the zeitgeist.<\/p>\n

Growing up, Claire found inspiration in her mother\u2019s kitchen, whipping up dishes alongside her mother and grandmother. Her mother had a pension for fresh, homemade foods loaded with fruits and vegetables. While learning the ins and outs of the kitchen and how to crack an egg with one hand, Claire developed some culinary mantras \u2013 \u201cEat this, it’s good for you,\u201d \u201cNever cheat your stomach,\u201d and \u201cWe don’t eat foods with ingredients I can’t pronounce.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love cooking soups and dressings, composing a salad, making a pie, a sauce, a stir fry \u2013 really, I love the entire process,\u201d says Claire, \u201ceven the cleanup.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1975, Claire took that mantra straight to the bank when she opened Claire\u2019s Corner Copia, where she serves up fresh soups and salads made from the freshest ingredients. If you want to turn your kitchen into a Corner Copia, Claire\u2019s got a simple place to start \u2013 salad dressing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my mom’s dressing for our nightly salad.\u201d Chef Claire Crisuolo shared with us this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over your greens, toss lightly. Squeeze the juice of a lemon evenly over the top of the salad \u2013 I use my hands to catch the seeds\u2013 and toss to coat. Add sea salt and fresh grated black pepper evenly on top and toss again. Taste and enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n

If you want more flavor where that came from, well you\u2019ll have to go straight to the source. Visit Claire\u2019s Corner Copia on your next lunch break and indulge in good ingredients for a better world. In Claire\u2019s words, New Haven is home to \u201cthe best and most interesting culinary scene in Connecticut.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
