Salad Fixings




I found something very affordable and yummy at the supermarket, which I thought you might want to try if you enjoy that particular taste that only Japanese food have.  It's Sesame Salad Dressing, which surprisingly is made by McCormick and Japanese rice toppings sold in packets that I've taken to liberally sprinkling over a bed of greens.


For a quick meal, get a bowl of lettuce, over which drizzle the sesame dressing, then sprinkle generously with the Japanese topping.  It's sooooo delicious.  You don't really need all the glitz and glamour of tomatoes or eggs or cheese; just the dressing and the sprinkles are enough.  Your salad will be so tasty you won't need all the frills.


The trouble is the packets only have Japanese characters on them so I can't tell you the brand or what exactly it's called.  Please memorize their look from the photos and go from there.  You can find them in Rustan's or Shopwise.  Here's a tip.  Do stock up once you find them because they disappear overnight and are hardly ever available.  Oh, and a glass of chilled California Chardonnay will go perfectly with it.
