Video: California Roll Salad

I wanted to quickly share this salad recipe, which I've been making just about every ten days and which stars some super au courant ingredients: mayo and imitation crab! I also wanted to say a couple of things regarding the video. 

1. They say it's important to let your kids fail! (This will make more sense once you've watched said video.)

2. Teddy's really good to his stuffed animals, as far as feeding them three squares a day. (See screenshot below for proof.)

California Roll Salad
serves 2-3 as main course

½ head of Napa or Savoy cabbage, thinly sliced (or about 3 cups)
2 small heads of Romaine, thinly sliced (or about 3 cups)
¼ cup cilantro, washed, dried, and chopped
2-3 Persian cucumbers, seeded and sliced into half-moons
¾ cup (or a bit more) slivered almonds, toasted
1 package (8 oz) imitation crab, cut in half horizontally and shredded

1 medium avocado, pitted and diced

for the dressing:
¼ cup mayonnaise
scant ¼ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1-2 tablespoons shoyu

Place the first seven ingredients in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, vinegar, sesame oil, and tablespoon of shoyu until well combined. Taste it. If you think it could stand to be a bit saltier, add a little more shoyu. If you’d like it to be creamier, add a bit more mayo and/or sesame oil.

Pour the dressing over the salad and mix thoroughly to combine. Enjoy.
