My twist on the ubiquitous, mildly mysterious, always delicious Japanese restaurant orange salad dressing. :)

When bean sprouts are cheap, I tend to buy a lot of it but it goes bad quickly, so I made a salad so I could use them up. I added aburaage, which I had in the refrigerator.Be sure not to overboil the bean sprouts! Just blanch them in order to retain their crunchy crispy texture.Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and soy sauce to taste.If you add too much mayonnaise, the salad will get soggy, so watch for that.

I wanted to eat a salad but didn't have any dressing, so I decided to make a fruit dressing. It turned out really tasty! You can also enjoy it as a fruit smoothie.

I wanted to enjoy the taste of the salad served at Jojoen restaurants, using familiar ingredients.I reduced the amount of oil in this dressing and added vinegar instead to make it healthy.-The salad dressing served at Jojoen restaurants do not contain vinegar.Drain your vegetables well. The key is the Ajinomoto seasoning powder. Recipe by 916banana

Simple and very tasty. I loved it with macadamias for the tropical theme but cashews, pecans, and walnuts would work well too.

This is a kid favorite salad in our house as well as a crowd pleaser for picnics, BBQs, and potlucks for the tasty mashup of fruit, veg, and sweet savory tangy dressing.I'm making it for Thanksgiving this year to make sure my teenaged son gets plenty of veg with that side of bacon he asked for . ;)Here in California, we get strawberries pretty much year round, though they tend to be better in Spring. If it's not strawberry season where you live, a mildly tart apple or firm pear cut into small chunks are both great substitutes.

While I do like the classic variation of broccoli salad, with bacon and cheese, this is just a (slightly) lighter take on it. I love the tartness of the cranberries with the sweetness of the honey and apples.

Hello!!! Did everyone have a good weekend? I hope so and I do hope that all is well…We had a very nice weekend it was the first one that we went out in a long long long time, we went and visited some friends who have moved to Germany from Greece. Our friend actually is a base player in a group and they were having a live concert on Saturday night so this gave us the opportunity to hear him live again!! I think its been 10 years since the last time I have been to a live concert. Germany had wonderful weather this weekend, Saturday night was just lovely, warm, stars were out, people dancing, and having a great time. 🙂Sunday we were invited over to some other friends house for lunch, the food was delicious BBQ, 🙂 we got a chance to catch up on everything and well we just had a lovely time. 😉 Just a small shout out thanking Katerina and hubby so much for inviting us to their home and their wonderful hospitality. (Before I forget Charlie had a great time too!!!) 🙂Since food was way to much this weekend, today’s lunch is light and salad is the only option. I ate Carrot Salad for the first time at my mother-in-laws :)…I remember that she placed it on the table and I made some sort of facial expression because she caught it hahahahahahah…and she remarked..:) Don’t get me wrong I love my mother-in-law, I have been very lucky she is like a second mom to me, anyway because I love salad I was absolutely going to try it, and have been making it myself since then. 🙂

This crunchy carrot salad recipe is simple and refreshing! It’s bright, light and so flavorful. Perfect side dish for any lunch or dinner!

My hubby and I love to eat salads. But I never keep any salad dressing from the store. Firstly, I don’t use salad dressing from the store. Secondly, it’s too oily and also not really in my taste. Even we go eat out, whenever I order salad, the salad dressing will always on the side, and I will never pour or use it on my salad. So the question is, what usually I use to dress up my homemade salads at home? Usually I just simply using squeezing lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Or sometimes I am using balsamic vinegar, or I made my own salad dressing. Today I am going to share my favorite citrus salad dressing using tangerines juice. And here is the recipe.
