Salads

Woke up this morning craving for this delicious seared tuna salad.

We're not a fan of tuna or coconut, but man, this tuna salad (it's sustainable tuna, too) combines the best of flavors: julienned green papaya, jicama (Mexican potato) and fresh grated coconut, rounded up beautifully with dashi vinaigrette for tangy, umami flavors we just can't get enough of. A mix of nori, wakame, sesame seeds and fresh coriander tops it off.

How can one resist this?

We're not vegetarian, but Spinacas' vegetarian ratatouille salad could easily convert me. Flavors do not restrain themselves as it dances across the palate in celebration, bursting with mildly spicy caramelized sweetness of aubergine, zucchini and mushroom, tossed in fresh baby spinach.

Happy Meat Free Week! Who says vegetarian food has to taste innocuous?

Having said that, when bland and tasteless vegetarian food is commonplace, much convincing is needed to summon the strength to opt for a vegetarian salad over something meatier—after all, a salad already has sufficient greens, no? It's a good thing we summoned the strength. We're not vegetarian, but this vegetarian ratatouille salad could easily convert us.

Flavors do not restrain themselves as it dances across the palate in celebration, bursting with mildly spicy caramelized sweetness of aubergine, zucchini and mushroom—best eaten warm. Strength won't be required to opt for this the next time.

Blowing us away is this chicken coleslaw that tastes way better than it sounds. A far cry from the common American slaw of raw cabbage and mayo that we know of, this refreshing creation resembled an Asian-inspired cold chicken salad. Strips of tender chicken meat is tossed together in shredded red carrot, cucumber, bean sprouts, raw red onion, shallots, coriander and peanut, dressed in lashings of sesame oil that was all kinds of delicious. A portion of this is made to share, but it's so good one could easily finish it alone—I know I definitely could!

Absolutely adoring how fresh and perfectly cooked the greens are—no mushy broccoli here. They're absolutely generous (it's 100g of meat!) with the tasty pulled pork that's tossed in a special barbecue sauce. What we really love is how the contrast of textures and flavors wield so beautifully together. Delivery is free for orders above $30. Stay tuned to GourmetAdventures.net for our review and giveaway!
