My daughters helped me make a delicious Oriental salad last night from all of our fresh veggies. My 3 year old was so cute “cooking” the lettuce as she tore it up. She had big pieces for daddy and little pieces for baby. It was so sweet! We went out and picked all of the veggies right before dinner. You can’t get much fresher than that! I love all the fresh veggies we keep getting from our garden!! Here is the recipe of the salad that we came up with. Basically, I just plan my menu by what we pick that day.
Oriental Salad:
2 Heads of cabbage
Red lettuce (Just snipped the top of the plant off.)
Green lettuce (Just snipped the top of the plant off.)
Green onions (1 bunch)
2 cups of fresh sugar snap peas
2 cups fresh Wando peas (These are really sweet green peas. They are so delicious!!)
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 cup peanuts (Free with coupons.)
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (From Asian Food Mart, which has the best prices I have found by far.)
1 package Ramen noodles, crushed
Oriental Salad Dressing:
This was just a quick and easy salad dressing that I threw together, but it tasted really good!
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 T soy sauce (I buy this from an Asian food market as well to save money.)
2 tablespoon rice vinegar (Free with coupons from a triples sale.)
2 t sugar
1/2 package of the Oriental seasoning from the Ramen noodle package.
Juice of 1 lime

Sounds yummy. I make a similar dressing but I replace part of the veg. oil with sesame oil…yum!!
Oh, I imagine that would be even better. I will have to try that next time. Thanks for the tip! Rene
This looks really good.
