Care for a salad?

PICT1326

I don’t really fancy making salads because only two of us eat salads. I can never get my kids to eat vegetables so salad is rarely prepared at home. Moreover, sometimes I wasted too much vegetables. You know, buy one head of celery and only finish a few sticks or a head of lettuce and ended up eating half whilst the other half wilted.

So, I find it very convenient to buy the pre-mix salads from the supermarket. It costs between RM6.90-RM7.90 per pack which can serves two. It is so colourful and flavourful too. There are some herbs inside like the basil and some peppery taste vegetable which I think is called the aragula. Moreover, the colourful red, green, white and purplish vegetables is a feast for the eyes.

Usually, I made a basic dressing of mixing only olive oil, a little salt and cracked black pepper.

If I want it to be more filling, I will throw in some feta cheese, eggs, ham, fruits or whatever is available. Or blanch some oyster mushroom and add them in. It is really an individual choice, really.

    I am not impressed westerner style salad choice of dressing.

    Here is some of my version of dressing/ingredients for “oriental style salad”.
    - For non-vegetarian, try to put salted fish, fried fish, salted egg or century egg(crunched), slices of scramble egg, etc
    - Oil : If you are not vegetarian, try putting some animal fat ;) - Replace vineger with premium soya sauce, Mint sauce, a few drops of “fish extract” etc.
    - Secret recipe : crunch some torch ginger (Bunga Kantang), daun raja, mint,etc.

    Bon appetite :)

    boo - When I have my western salad, i like to plain to enjoy the taste of the vege.

    bihzhu - I know which one you are talking about. It used to be the Guan Yin temple loh mee. I will go eat one of these days. I don’t really fancy loh mee unless they give me lots of the vinegar garlic paste. Yum…

    moo_t : You must show us a photo and blog them one day. They are more like kerabu than salad ya? Never thought of adding salted fish into kerabu.
