Sweet Mango Salsa
Delicious Sweet Mango Salsa that will go on anything! Despite the jalepeno, this salsa is very light and sweet and has only a little spicy after taste. Because of the colors of the tomatoes, it looks bright and summer-y! Makes a great dip for veggies or bring to a party for an appetizer!
My favourite salad dressing
I had experimented a lot, till I finally found my own favourite salad dressing. It's both tasty and colorful, and could easily be a dish in itself. I usually make this dressing when the salad is green, made of usually chinese leaves or corn salad (also known as valeriana locusta). I buy some green vegetables on my way to work, use this dressing and voila, there's my delicious lunch.
Mushroom Turnovers Come Alive!
These are even better than the fried version! With deep, dark, woodsy shiitake mushrooms marinated in rich seasonings layered between delicate, crispy flax "pastry". Decadent! Yet very healthy. And, most importantly, alive and full of natures mysterious goodness.
This recipe takes a day or so to make right. So I like to prepare this larger quantity of the flax pastry and mushroom filling ahead of time, at the same time, and then once the pastry is crispy, assemble as needed. The crust keeps for a long time. And the mushroom filling will keep for a couple of days, and get more yummy after a day or so, but is yummy even immediately, if you can't wait!
Also, if you're looking for a raw, healthy version of phyllo dough, for baklava, or spanakopita or whatever, this flax pastry is for you!
Radish Garlic Tahini Dip
I had to use up some things in the fridge and came up with a deliciously creamy dip with quite a bite! I used it as a base for lettuce wraps and topped it with black beans, sliced yellow pepper, sliced mushrooms, radishes, and a few pine nuts. So good.
Summer Rolls
I just decided this afternoon to put anything good I could find in my fridge into a nori sheet...and it turned out amazingly.
