I’ve been to Kanin Club myself and tried their Tomato Salad with onions, cilantro and cottage cheese. Very refreshing combination. Their mango salad, I’ve also tried. Very Asian in flavor, what with the coconut strips and peanuts in it. Hope they can have a branch closer to us soon.

to Maria Clara:

Try chopped tomatoes and spring onions with bagoong alamang (fresh)or just the juice of the bagoong isda, add wansuy and olive oil, it’s so sarap! The american wife of my nephew love it so much.

At an upscale restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida, I tasted a lettuce wedge topped with gorgonzola/blue cheese dressing which was to die for!

to teth: another wonderful restaurant is Sentro in Greenbelt 3 – Makati; another great fave is their Tapa dish with a quarter cup of crispy garlic over a bed of white rice, salsa (diced tomatoes, chopped white onions, cut up cilantro, with kalamansi or lemon juice) and cut-up shreds of letuce mixed in. It’s another wonderful combination. In a way reminds me of Wahoos Fish Taco dish in Southern California. If you’ve got any restaurant finds you can share, please do. We’re always in the “hunt” for a new place to try.

Thatâ€™s how cheese connoisseurs are â€“ they sniff the cheese and savor the aroma. Blue cheese does not talk to me â€“ I find it too strong. I love chopped tomatoes and onion with bagoong in almost anything.

Try red onions, diced, on a bed of spinach salad with cilantro, cucumbers, tomato, candied toasted walnuts/pecans, golden raisins, and balsamic dressing and you’ve got a great salad.
In Southern California, a favorite salad combination is that of a bed of letuce with slices of pears, cut up cooked bacon squares, slivers of roasted chicken, crumbled blue cheese and honey mustard dressing. Whereas, recently on a trip to Santa Rosa/Laguna area (near Alabang) tried a shredded semi-ripe mango salad at Kanin Club (@ the Paseo de Santa Rosa Shopping Center) which was simply mango cut up in long strips like thin french fries then mixed with finely chopped peanuts, salt & sugar, a small amount of shaved coconut (barely noticeable), and chopped white onions. The combination was so so so “masarap”.
Luv a variety of salads! Keep it coming.
