Caesar salad: Easier than you ever think!

The Caesar salad is always on the menu, you can see it everywhere, ^^. I got a request asking for the Caesar salad recipe, and I think I need the recipe too. Many people love Caesar salad, and if you can make it at home it will be great.

Japanese Sesame Salad Dressing

For anyone who loves salad, this one is low in fat and very easy (again). You can make a dressing and keep in the fridge, or just make before use. It takes so little time.

Japanese Sesame Salad Dressing

(From Happy New Year! 2008)

3 Tbsp	vinegar (Japanese natural flavored distilled vinegar)
2 Tbsp	soy sauce
2 Tbsp	sugar
2 Tbsp	Sesame (toasted)
	Vegetable of your choice

Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar in small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the sesame seed. Pour over the vegetable.

Avocado, anyone?

I really like avocado, I can take it in any form, fresh, mash in salad, bake in a cake or just pour the condensed milk over it, yummy. I like the soft texture of the avocado and its mild taste (my sister tease me that I like baby food when I mash and eat the avocado). Avocado is very good for our health too because of its monounsaturated fat to helps fighting heart disease (raise the levels of HDL “good cholesterol”, prevent cancer and keep eyes healthy, it’s so good). So, today how about the avocado salad, that’s fresh and so good to your health.

Ox heart or vine ripened tomatoes (sliced) 3

Separate the lettuce leaves and divide among plates. Divide the tomatoes slices among plates, then scatter over the chopped onion, crushed garlic and coriander leaves. Arrange the avocado slices on top and squeeze over the lime juice to prevent them from turning brown. Sprinkle each salad with a pinch of chili flakes, then season. Scatter with the semi-dried tomatoes drizzling over about 1 teaspoon of the reserved oil.
