Norwegian Coleslaw

By

Norwegian coleslaw is a classic recipe.  The slaw has a subtle sweet and sour flavor.  The sweet comes from sugar and the sour from vinegar.  This is a recipe that gets better with time, so it is actually best to make a few days in advance.

We served this Norwegian coleslaw as a side dish to our seafood feast, and it was a nice accompaniment to all the rich seafood, mayo and butter.

Have you seen a cabbage shredder before?  It is in the background of the photo, pretty cool!

Nicaraguan Vigoron (Cabbage Slaw and Yuca Salad)

By

Nicaraguan Vigoron is a staple and much loved salad throughout Nicaragua.

The salad is made with a cabbage slaw called curtido.  It has cabbage, tomatoes, onion, chilies and lime. Boiled yuca is part of the salad as is fried pork rinds or pork belly.

It is often served on a banana leaf.

This dish was created in the town of Granada by a woman called “La Loca”.  She named the dish after seeing a poster advertising an early medicinal tonic by the same name.

It was magnifico!  This dish can be found all over the country.

I made this one with store bought pork rinds but it would be off the charts if you included this recipe for chicarones!

New Zealand Kumara Salad

By

New Zealand kumara salad is perfect served alongside grilled lamb chops.

Kumara are sweet potatoes and were originally brought to New Zealand by the Maori people.

Kumara is and has been a staple ingredient in the Kiwi diet.

This is a lovely salad with the roasted sweet potato adding a touch of sweetness to it.

The salad was also made with watercress which is a native  ingredient found along the edges of fresh water rivers and creeks around New Zealand.

It can be enjoyed raw or cooked and has a mild mustard flavor.  In New Zealand it is called Kowhitiwhiti in the Maori language.

The salad also had  fresh crumbled goat cheese and some pine nuts.  The combination of texture and flavors is superb, you will love this salad.

Dutch Hussars Salad (Huzarensalade)

By

This Dutch Hussars salad called Hauzarensalade is sort of a potato salad but so much more.

The name stems from a Calvary called the Hussars who could not make a fire in fear of being detected.  They would simply mix things together to make a cold salad.

I love these recipes where you can add just about any leftovers to it.

What I loved most about this salad were two things, the dressing was light more like a vinaigrette than an heavy mayonnaise and the bite of tart apple.

This is another recipe I will add to my daily repertoire.  It is versatile to be a side dish or could easily make a wonderful main dish as  a lunch or light summer dinner.

Fermented Green Tea Salad (Lahpet Thoke)

By

Fermented green tea salad called lahpet thoke in Burmese, is my new favorite thing.

I think this could be the new rage in cuisine.

I am not aware of any other country that eats green tea leaves.  These are fermented.

In Myanmar they actually do the fermentation process under ground.  You can get pretty close to the right flavor in just 4 days following the recipe instructions.  Please plan accordingly and make extra, trust me you will love it.

The fermented green tea leaves are slightly bitter but in a good way that makes you crave more.

It is mixed together with some cabbage, fried yellow split peas, fried garlic, some roasted peanuts, toasted sesame seeds, some tomato and dried shrimp.

It is then sprinkled with an delicious dressing that is so Southeast Asian.

You will love this!

One more note, you need to soak the yellow split peas overnight before frying.  The recipe below does not include the fermentation time or soaking time so plan ahead.

Mozambican Avocado Salad

By

Mozambican Avocado salad is lovely and light.

It is called Salada pera de abacate in Portuguese, the official language of Mozambique.

It is a bit different as it pairs avocado, with tomato and peaches.

The dressing is really good and will be my summer go to dressing.  It is citrusy with lemon but it is the peach syrup along with some herbs that make it truly unique and wonderful.

We enjoyed this salad along with the peri peri chicken and fries. it was the perfect accompaniment.

A light and lovely salad that would be enjoyed with just about anything.

I was lucky enough to use fresh mixed greens right out of our International Cuisine garden for this one which makes it always extra special.

Montenegrin Sopska Salad

By

Montenegrin Sopska salad is pronounced “Shopska”.  It is very popular all through the Balkan countries.  This salad is a real delight and perfect when fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers are abundant.  The fresher the better!  Also what makes it special is the copious amounts of cheese that covered on top.  The cheese is typically sirene or a farmers cheese that is soft and has a hint of saltiness.  It is dressed with just a touch of some excellent extra virgin olive oil and a splash of apple vinegar. We enjoyed this salad as part of Montenegrin feast however if would make a lovely light lunch with simply some bread and a glass of wine.

Mauritius Octopus Salad (Salde Ourite)

By

Mauritius octopus salad is awesome!  Just the sight of it makes you feel like you are in a special tropical place.  I love octopus, and salads is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it.  Be sure to throw a wine cork in the water when you cook it, it really does work to help make the octopus tender.  If you are pressed for time you could use cooked octopus that you can typically find in the freezer section of you local Asian market.  This can be made as a starter or would also suffice as a nice light lunch.  This Mauritius style salad has a lively dressing.  Enjoy!
