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.... 🤔

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.

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

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.

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

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

This is a really great new version to a caesar salad The croutons are always a hit!!

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

We received some sweet potatoes as a gift, and I came up with this recipe. Kabocha squash and sweet potatoes are similar, so I used the kabocha squash salad they sell at the deli counters in a department store food hall as inspiration.The sweet potatoes should be on the soft side. If you think they are little hard when you're mashing them, microwave them for a few minutes. This salad is delicious when it's freshly made, but I recommend chilling it in the refrigerator before serving. If you want a smoother texture, add some milk and adjust. Recipe by Mokodeli

I had some delicious sweet onions.Cutting the onion at a right angle helps mitigate its stinging spiciness.There's no need to soak the sweet onion in water or rub some salt in it. However, if you dislike its spiciness or if you're using regular onions, please prep them so they're not too strong in flavor.Do not chill the pork in ice water! This will make the meat excessively tough. Recipe by Oshisu

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!

I've been coming up with recipes that uses canned mackarel to use up the emergency stock of canned food I bought.Step 1: If using regular onions, rub with some salt before soaking in water.Step 2: Flake the mackerel before topping. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
