March 2021: Giorgio Rapicavoli is no longer at Time Out Market Miami, but you can visit his restaurant, Eating House, in Coral Gables.
Welcome to Food Envy, where we’ll highlight different dishes from Time Out Market Miami that we think you’re going to love—partly because we do. This week, we’re happily tucking into yet another Asian salad, this time at Eating House.

It’s not lost on us that the food we’re coveting and recommending lately is mostly of the vegetable variety. In part, it’s a response to the diners who shared that it’s nearly impossible to eat healthy at Time Out Market Miami. Sorry, folks, but you’re wrong and our recent Food Envys prove it.
Mostly, our choice to showcase more plant-based meals and dishes not doused in sauce or made up of 90-percent carbohydrates is our duty to remain transparent. Where on Time Out Miami’s Instagram you’ll see tons of delicious food porn, here is where we keep it real and tell you about the stuff we’re actually eating, like this Asian salad from Eating House.
We love Jeremy Ford’s spicy fried chicken sandwich and the Local Cuban’s pan con bistec as much as the next person, but we’d go into a food coma at our desks if we ate them for lunch, which is when most of our Market tasting goes on. For this entry, we had Eating House’s salad special on the brain. We’d been craving the dish ever since our Dating IRL couple ordered it on their blind date at the Market a few weeks back. Instead of the famous carbonara, they made the less-popular choice and went for the salad. We were instantly intrigued.
It’s a simple dish consisting of fresh spring mix, sliced carrots, cucumbers and radish, and sesame seeds. It’s dressed in a house-made ginger-soy dressing that’s lighter and less chunky than your sushi restaurant variety. You have the option of adding chicken or shrimp for an extra charge. We find citrusy Asian dressings typically combine best with grilled seafood, so we went with the plump, grilled shrimp. There wasn’t a drop of sauce or morsel of food left on the plate after our meal, still, we floated back to our desks feeling full and featherlight.
