A food blog with over 800 easy recipes. Food pics and a particular love for Asian food! Pickled cucumbers are so versatile and delicious! They pair well with salads, sandwiches, mains and can be served as a side dish or a snack

If it’s something heavy like fried oysters, I follow the Japanese rule of pairing a heavy main dish with something lighter on the side like a vinegar based coleslaw. The way I like to make my coleslaw dressing healthier is by substituting some of the mayonnaise for yogurt, and lower the amount of sugar used. So my healthier recipe looks like this: I swap 3/4 of the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt and use honey instead of granulated sugar. I’ve used a very similar version for this Japanese cabbage salad I created a few years back.

Make this iconic and delicious Japanese Restaurant Style Ginger Salad Dressing Recipe in less than 10 minutes! This Japanese salad dressing recipe may be an Americanized version of the original (which has no carrots, uses less sugar and more ginger) but since I grew up on this side of the pond, speaks to me the same as if I was eating the real thing in Japan. This is the ubiquitous restaurant style ginger and carrot dressing you get on your starter salad at your local Japanese steakhouse and sushi restaurant. The ultimate best thing about this Japanese restaurant salad dressing (aside from the incredible taste) is how simple it is to whip up using just a few common ingredients.
