Oriental Veggie Salad

Oriental Veggie Salad

I love this salad because it is so versatile. I use veggies that are in season and have the most flavor. Sometimes I just throw together what we have at the restaurant and we might have a new salad each day with the same basic concept. Here is the basics and you use your imagination to create a salad that would be tasty to your tummy. Here goes:

3 cups sugar snap peas
2 English cucumbers, cut into quarters longwise and diced
3 cups baby bella mushrooms
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 green pepper thinly sliced
1 red pepper thinly sliced
1 orange pepper thinly sliced
3 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup broccoli, cut into tiny florets

Dressing:

1 cup Hoisin Sauce
1/3 cup Rice Vinegar
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 tsp sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cut and prep all of your veggies and place into a large bowl. Put all dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour over veggies and mix well. Place in the refrigerator for a few hours until serving so that flavors can meld with the veggies. Don't forget to use your imagination and try this will different veggies. Good luck and happy eating.

About Me

Brazil, Indiana, United States
I have a restaurant in Brazil, Indiana named Simply Decadent Cafe & Catering. I also do full event catering along with wedding/party planning. I must admit I am horribly addicted to coffee and wild cherry diet pepsi along with chocolate. I love listening to my MP3 player while I cook and have been known to dance around the kitchen a little. Have to make the kitchen fun don't we? I don't have any formal kitchen training, but have learned a lot over the years from a few fantastic cooks, my grandma being one of them. I love trying new recipes and my customers are always willing to be my taste testers.
