Low-cal Burdock Root Salad

Apparently, you lose half of the nutrients if you peel a burdock root or soak it in water.Cook the burdock root soon after cutting it. I recommend seasoning this pretty strongly when stir-frying. It's a little too salty, eat with a side of lettuce or sliced cucumbers, and you won't even need dressing! Recipe by DIRTBAG

I love burdock root (gobo) salad. I've been making this for ages since it's a firm family favorite. It's great to pack in lunchboxes too!Pay attention when you're adding the seasoning ingredients at Step 5. Also be sure to dry the vegetables well in the prior step, or the salad will be watery. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Donpintan

My child has asthma and when the season changes, his asthma worsens.Daikon radishes, lotus roots and burdock roots are known for calming coughs. Burdock roots, daikon radishes and cucumber are for lowering a high temperature. Carrots and sesame seeds are good for the lung.You can use ground sesame.The sesame seeds absorb the excess moisture from the vegetables and prevents the salad from becoming soggy. Recipe by Noritama@kusuimun

A salad seasoned with my favorite homemade dressing.The hint is to avoid blanching the vegetables for too long. Even it it may seem a bit firm, it'll soften in residual heat. Don't soak the lotus root and the burdock in cold water after they're cooked. Recipe by Chiton

I just came up with this off the top of my head. I also recommend you enjoy it with French dressing.In Step 3, fry the lotus root until browned.If you are not using sushi vinegar, make your own by combining 1 tablespoon of vinegar with sugar and salt.If you just use vinegar, it won't have a mellow taste, so make sure you add a little sugar as well. Adjust the amount of dressing ingredients to your tastes. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I figured taro root could be used as a potato substitute for salad, croquette, gratin, etc, not just potato tumblers. I tried this recipe with umeboshi and it was delicious.If you steam the taro, it'll be easy to remove the skin by hand. In step 3 don't mix in all of the taro. Set a little aside, then mix in a little later, but not too much, thus you'll be able to savor two textures of taro root. Scatter with julienned nori seaweed and shiso leaves for aroma!

一品で栄養満点！かかえて食べたいやみつき和風マヨポンサラダ。あと一品ほしいときに◎

This is a variation of "Kinpira Gobo" (stir fried spicy burdock root). If you add mayonnaise to kinpira, it becomes a delicious, earthy salad. I made this version with lotus root as a variation!Recipe by Raby

If you don't like the sharpness/spiciness of radishes all that much, then this recipe is great. By making the dressing with creme fraiche or sour cream, you get a mild, creamy yet refreshing salad :) This is a German recipe my mom and dad told me about so we remade with our garden radishes. Adjust the amount of vinegar, sugar and cream to taste.Try mixing in other herbs besides dill or a some sliced apple. Some German recipes will add 1-2 Tbsp of horseradish too but I'm not a fan.

I wanted to introduce my children to different ways to eat lotus root, since I love lotus root myself.Even if it's a bit of a bother, the sesame seeds will be much better if you toast them.Make sure to drain the lotus root very well after boiling it or it will be too watery.The cooking time is kept short in order to preserve the crispy-crunchy texture.Try the salad with tuna instead of ham.You can halve the amounts, since this is a lot of salad. For 4 servings. Recipe by Mamimeron

This is a recipe that I learned from my relative when I had it at their house.There's nothing to it!It can be made in no time! Recipe by Kojima ponsuke

Daikon radish sprouts are inexpensive and available everywhere, and are really handy to use as toppings or garnish when a little color is needed. I always seem to have some left over, so I was wondering if there was a recipe that would allow me to use them in something that could be marinated in advance. The marinade sauce is adapted from a recipe that I wrote down from a booklet I saw more than 10 years ago. It was a sweet sauce so I thought it would go well with the spiciness of the sprouts. I tweaked the recipe in many ways to work well with the ingredients.I'm not sure how long this lasts since we always finish it the next day. Please try to finish it as soon as possible. You can of course make it in a plastic container from the start. I just prefer to make it in a bowl and then transfer it to a plastic container because I think the flavors meld better that way, especially if this is to be eaten the same day it's made.If you use cucumbers instead of sprouts as suggested in step 9, be aware that cucumber changes color faster than sprouts, so you may want to eat the salad the same day it's made. For about 3 servings. Recipe by Sabumochi

I love salads with fresh broccoli and I wanted to try something new. This was easy and delicious. Family loved it, even my 4 year old! New favorite!

Tossed a few things together that had been hanging out in the fridge. Happy Accident.

Tried with different flavors tonight, thought it would be a fun idea to create a all red salad 😃 Gluten free

Be careful not to let it burn when you stir-fry. Recipe by Kamekichi

This salad is indispensable for me along with the potato salad whenever I prepare stuffed tomatoes and deviled eggs.But it is also an excellent combination with any kind of meat.

This beet salad is a very different (read: healthier ;) ) version of the beet salad I knew growing up in Newfoundland. It takes a bit of time in terms of prepping your ingredients (mainly the beets and carrots), but it's worth it.This is a great summer salad to serve with a BBQ, or on its own as a lunch. You can adjust the ingredient amounts for lesser portions- this salad serves approximately 6-10 servings if used as a side dish.

My mom used to make this salad in late spring and early summer when fresh radishes were coming up.

I really love this "Pea Sprout & Cabbage Shio-koji Salad",. I thought the pea sprouts would taste delicious with some other fresh and simple ingredients, so I made this recipe with a couple adjustments to the seasoning.Carrot peel contains lots of carotene which supposedly helps to prevent cancer!I recommend using unpeeled carrots with a smooth and clean skin.The carrots do contain an enzyme that destroys Vitamin C, but if you heat them up or sprinkle some lemon juice or vinegar over them it seems to keep the enzyme at bay. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by uzu1118

When I added celery leaves to my huge kabocha salad, it tasted so good.If you're not counting calories, add mayonnaise. It makes it nice and creamy. Of course, it's great with just the dressing, too. The amount of dressing will likely be more than you need, so add it according to the amount of kabocha, taking care not to make it too watery. Recipe by BUTTON3

Beets are a staple vegetable here in Mongolia, and are often served with meat dishes. I learned this method from a Mongolian and made a few changes.If you get tired of this taste, it also tastes good with scrambled egg or soybeans. Recipe by Marukonoshippo
