I am in salad mode again. There are Asian ingredients in this, yet it has a distinctly California vibe. Inspired years ago by a summer roll recipe in Sunset Magazine, it’s a delicious salad brimming with the “umami” – the Asian flavor of satisfaction. This is a very substantial and savory salad as-is, but feel free to addRead More
