So we are having a feast while watching the England – Chermany game.
We knew there was going to be a lot of emotion, and tension, so decided to make lots of delicious comfort food. Salad, with the bessssst salad dressing ever, roasted sweet potato and butter and soy, and angel hair pasta with mushrooms and chili. Lots of posts tonight!
The salad is composed of:
- 300 grams yellow and red cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 large packet rocket
- 1 small head lettuce
- 1 avocado
- 1 ear of corn
- Macadamia nuts
- 4 – 5 small onions in vinegar (or 1/2 small white onion)
- Edible flowers
Rinse tomatoes and cut in half. Tear salad into bite sized pieces and rinse well. Peel and chop avocado. Slice corn off the cob (tis wonderful raw). Toss in a handful of macadamia nuts. Slice vinegared onions in half, or finely dice half a small onion. Ensure edible flowers are clean, and add. Toss together, making sure that some of the flowers are face up on top.
Make your salad dressing. This is the best dressing there is, and easy to make, but quantities depend on you. I will give you a rough estimate:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 -4 tbsp suchi seasoning or sushi wine vinegar
- 3- 5 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 -3 tbsp Japanese mayonaise
- 3 cloves of garlic, grated
- Thumb sized piece of ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 4 – 6 tbsp soy sauce
Mix together well, and taste and adjust to your liking.
I adore this sauce. I use it as a dipping sauce for vegetarian chicken pieces or sausages. Its great on any salad – from mushroom salad to potato to a wonderful mixed salad as above. You could even use it in a sandwich if you like. You could add some peanut butter for extra protein if you need it. Or some seaweed seasoning. Or toasted sesame seeds. Use your own sense of taste, and what you like, and adapt it for your own pleasure.
