Not Sweet and Certainly not Tart Salad

When I used to make this salad and store in the fridge, I didn't like the salad becoming too dry since the cellophane noodles absorbed too much sauce.I added more soy sauce or vinegar to make it better, but I finally solved this problem by coating the noodles with oil!As a result, I could reduce the amount of flavoring ingredients as well.I recommend making this salad a little spicy by adding drops of ra-yu.If you serve this straight away, rinse the cellophane noodles in cold water. If you plan to eat it later, it's better to mix in the sauce right before you serve as much as possible!Add the sesame oil in the hot water, and drain. Don't add it over the drained noodles directly. This is key. Recipe by Shijimi24

Just wanted to make a tasty sour fruit salad!

I wanted to use up some cans.There's canned saury, sardines, mackerel, etc., so use whatever's available.You can season it with soy sauce or miso if you like.It's lightly flavored and delicious.Canned food is heavily flavored, so you don't need seasonings.Kids love it if you add a bit of mayonnaise.

This salad screams summer with fresh sweet corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes from your garden or the farmers market. It won't last long in your fridge once you taste it but it will keep for several days (especially if you avoid salting the vegetables when you add your dressing). Use as a stand alone salad or pair with fish or chicken, great as a salsa for fish tacos. This fresh, healthy salad will help with these hot, hot days! Enjoy!

A twist on the date & celery salad I've been making for years. If you don't have rice wine vinegar, try white wine vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice.

This salad combines some of my favorite fruits and flavors. The ingredients incorporate nicely and would be a wonderful addition to grilled fish or chicken.

Here in Southern California, we're back to al fresco dining weather, and we like to enjoy it as much a possible.One of our favorite al fresco meals is a wine, cheese, and salumi lunch, and this simple tomato salad made specifically with red wine vinegar is one of my favorite accompaniments. You could totally use another kind of vinegar if you like, but there's just something about the flavor of red wine vinegar that I love in this salad. :)If you can get them, sweet onions like Vidalias or Mayan Sweets are ideal.

thanks to my old high school mate Nina for the dressing used in this salad.. its sweet and tangy! i loved it!

Traditional Chinese dish easy and lite

This is our favorite recipe for macaroni salad. I make it all the time. Finally decided to put the recipe on here.

Our local Thai place has a really nice cucumber salad that is very sweet. This is owr version of a cucumber salad that is not as sweet, with a pop of flavor from the pepper. We enjoy this during warmer months with various chicken or pork dishes. And now to find a decent peanut sauce recipe.... 🤔

This salad goes well with spicy dishes. The sweet and sour mix also takes away the burn from spicy food!

Year round fresh cold salad that pairs well with anything that tastes great with pickles.

I absolutely love the combination of these flavors. I wanted everyone to try it at least once so I uploaded the recipe here!The oranges I used this time were small, so I used one per person, cut it into half and then sliced them into about 7-8 mm. If you have large oranges, cut them into quarters first.If you don't have sweet onions, use regular onions, soaked in salted water or massaged with a little salt to get rid of the harshness. For 2 servings. Recipe by rie-tin

This is a copycat recipe of the tomato salad that a Genghis Khan (BBQ sliced lamb) restaurant serves. My husband, who does not like fresh tomatoes, loved it. And, he said it was better than the one at the restaurant.If you use sweet onions, they should not be too sharp tasting, but if you'd rather not have any sharpness, soak them in water to mellow the flavor. If you have enough time, chill the tomatoes on a plate in the refrigerator until icy cold, then enjoy. Recipe by Momonoyasashiikaori

Most kale salads tend to have a lot of ingredients from what I've seen. This is my very simplistic rendition of it, and only takes about ten minutes!

I Had a whole lot of summer fruit in the fridge and decided to throw this together so that they wouldn't be wasted. We had a family barbecue and the bowl had been licked clean.

My mother made this for me a lot. My husband loves it too.It's best made in advance (e.g.: made at lunchtime for dinner), so that you can let it rest in the refrigerator for a sufficient amount of time to let it get really cold and have the flavors settle in. Recipe by Inaemon

This delicious vegan salad has a light tangy dressing and creamy avocado. You definitely won't miss the real thing

I love cucumber salad but the full fat mayo version has too many calories. So I've created one that uses lighter ingredients but the taste isn't compromised. This is my "go to" side dish for so many meals now made with less guilt!

The pineapples are ripe and abundant. The limes are ripe and fragrant. Pineapple and lime make a delicious sweet and sour lunch salad or dinner salad.Frozen cooked shrimp. Salad of fresh bean sprouts, fresh pineapple, fresh bell pepper, fresh jalapeno pepper, fresh green onions.Fresh ginger, garlic, olive oil, lime juice and buttermilk salad dressing.Optional precooked cold rice.

Fennel salad is one of those treats I always forget to make for myself. It's light, refreshing, and crisp. Well one night I was craving something that would pair well with pork chops I was grilling and this recipe came to mind. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. =)

I wanted to eat a chilled and light salad.When you are done, chill well in the refrigerator before serving.You can use regular onions but sweet onions are best! Recipe by Ringono recipe

Refreshing and inexpensive. I forgot to take a picture until we had already eaten two servings 😋 We enjoyed this with baked beans and a stuffed roasted poblano.

Very yummy

I usually use onions and tuna because I like them stir-fried together. I thought it would be delicious if I used sweet onions and mixed fluffy spring potatoes with soy sauce. That's how it all came about.I added the soy sauce in two batches to enjoy its flavor.I recommend you mix the potatoes when they're hot while making sure not to mash them too much.Please adjust the cooking time for the potatoes since it can vary according to size.You can boil or steam the potatoes instead of microwaving them. For 4 serving. Recipe by creamcrepe

It’s a nice salad for salad-haters and lovers alike. Great to beat the heat of summer, or a nice snack!I miss the mountains. Why is everything so hot at sea level?!! I wanna go back to sub tundra and raise reindeer 😭
