Green Salad with Corn and Strawberries
Eating with the season is the best way that I can describe this salad. My husband’s best friend brought over a large tray of freshly picked strawberries over the weekend and this salad immediately came to mind. My girls have been into adding fruits with our green salads lately and what with strawberries and corn being in peak season right now, I thought I might as well post this recipe even though I don’t usually post … Read entire article »

Nakano Prize Package Giveaway & Recipes
We had a new salad favorite at our house this summer when we first tried the Corn Avocado and Tomato Salad. That’s why when I got a chance to try out NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegars, I knew that this salad would be one of the first I would try it on. The original recipe for this salad simply called for a lemon and olive oil dressing. This time around, I decided to add a little Asian twist to it.

LaPiS – CORN
I’m in a Meme-catch-up mood this week so I thought I would post this much over due post for Lasang Pinoy Sundays (LaPiS) since the next topic has not been announced yet. The theme for this Lasang Pinoy Sundays is CORN and it just so happened that I had just made Iska’s CORN, AVOCADO AND TOMATO SALAD with a few additions of my own. Here is what I had in my salad: Corn Avocado Tomato Summer Squash Sweet Vidalia Onions Curly Leaf Lettuce Like Iska, I dressed the salad simply with olive oil, lemon juice and a dash of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. It was delicious just as it was but my other daughter has been obsessing with the Asian Salad dressing with toasted sesame seed and so she added some of that to her portion. I … Read entire article »
