I have always loved salad. It requires a lot of prep work, for sure...but it is SO worth it. And ever since we moved to Japan, I have been LOVING the sesame dressing here (only I think it's a little thick, so I pour mine from the big bottle into a smaller bottle and water it down).
Lately, my salad skillz have gone off the charts. Pretty much anything (plant based) goes.
In this bowl, you will find:
lettuce (3 kinds)
cilantro
cherry tomatoes
avocado
carrots
yellow pepper
green onion
mushrooms
green grapes
celery
sliced almonds
dried cranberries
cucumbers
Sometimes, I might add any of the following:
fresh basil
artichoke hearts
various sprouts
strawberries
spinach
fresh dill
cabbage
black beans
kidney beans
red pepper
Greek olives
edamame (boiled soybeans)
pineapple
carmelized onions
capers
umeboshe (pickled plum)
seaweed flakes
toasted pinenuts
I have yet to make a combination that I didn't love. Maybe it's the magic sesame dressing?
