I had a lot of in-season tomatoes and basil, so I made this easy and refreshing salad.Adjust the amount of dressing to your taste. For 3 servings. Recipe by umemodoki

It's such a perfectly gorgeous Spring day out there that sharing something light, healthful and refreshing seems fitting.

This is a variation of a recipe a friend of mine taught me.Slice the onion thinly so that it works well as part of the dressing.You can use tataki (bashed) cucumber instead of jabara cucumber.Sweet onions have lots of moisture, so be a bit generous with the salt. For 2 servings. Recipe by nekoland

This came to me when I was nibbling on a cucumber after taking a bath, because I didn't have any dessert on hand.Just chill it very well in the refrigerator!!Slice the cucumbers very thinly.Use whatever ponzu sauce you like, but I recommend one that has yuzu in it. It's really good.If you are using regular ponzu sauce, you may want to add a little sugar. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ponzu shokunin nao

While this isn't the quickest chicken recipe ever, it is super easy, family-friendly, and rustically elegant enough to serve to guests.By roasting the chicken atop fresh tomatoes, you get a lot of moist, juicy flavor through the underside of the chicken, but then keep the skin safely away from moisture so you still get an irresistibly crispy brown chicken skin made all the more delicious by the layer of frico you get from adding some grated dry cheese atop the chicken in the last few minutes of roasting.And then all those delicious juices and fat from the chicken along with some of its velvety collagen drip into the fresh tomato sauce, giving it a wonderfully rich and developed flavor while still retaining the light and summery flavor of fresh tomatoes.Key to the success of this dish is a cooking vessel with enough surface area to be able to spread the chicken out in a single layer without having the pieces touch. I used a 12-inch oven safe stainless saute pan to make mine. If you have an equally large cast iron skillet or a medium sized roasting pan, they'll work just fine.

I usually eat tomatoes and salad tofu with Chinese dressing, but this time I decided to try making it with my family's scallion dressing.If you drain the tofu well, it won't crumble when arranging it with the tomatoes. This time, I used salad tofu that doesn't need draining. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei
