Broccolini salad with Fremented Beancurd dressing

We never eat enough salad and more often than not, it is because we felt salads are rabbits' food and that salad does not have the satisfying factor during and after eating. As such, to encourage more meat-eaters like yours truly to eat more greens in the form of salad, I realised that the crux is to focus on the selection of vegetable for the salad and secondly, the dressing itself. For vegetables selection, broccoli or cauliflower are good addition as it provides robust texture to the salad, great taste and eating pleasure. Next, the dressing. For this recipe, I have developed a special dressing and I hope that you will find it to be a keeper and encourage you to eat more salad! 

Caesar Salad with Celery Seed dressing

Salad often received a bad reputation as a meal that is made for people on a diet or people who intends to lose weight and this further translates to the food being "not-tasty" or "not delicious". However, the truth may not be so and I will attempt to break the negative stereotype/reputation of salads with this simple recipe which is developed from a fusion between the classic Caesar salad and another clasic, the delicious Nicoise salad. The fragrant nuttiness and savory flavor from the dressing adds so much more dimension to the salad and when topped with grilled chicken, this salad is not only robust and delicious but is also packed with flavor that would impress your guests! 

Seasonal Mulberries Garden Salad

Mulberries Garden Salad. Cooking with Essential Oil

When certain produce are in season, it should be a no brainer to buy them because they are not just bountiful and cheap, they are also of the best quality and you have tonnes to choose from! Its Mulberries season and the organic Mulberries and edible flowers in my MIL's garden is in abundance hence I have decided to assemble this simple Mulberries Garden salad. I usually choose at least 4 colors for my salad but for this, I will go with 7 - Purple, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Black and White. For the dressing, I simply use a citrus vinaigratte infused with Lemon EO. The Lime flowers and Jasmine provides another dimension of pleasure through their sweet and tangy fragrance that will definitely wow your guest.
