Enjoying these last few days before Summer comes with a vengeance. The Ministry said today starts the short march toward Summer, with its sandstorms, whopping heat and later humidity. Onward and upward.

Miso Peach Salad

This is a nice little salad – a little salty, some nice umami and a punch of heat.

gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan

Miso Peach Salad

1 tsp white miso

2 Tbsp balsamic glaze

3 Tbsp olive oil

Dash lime juice

Dash of heat – I’ve been using chili garlic sauce from Indifoods and adding more to each serving before eating

Salt & pepper

3 small cucumbers, chopped

500g mixed greens

1 kohlrabi, peeled and julienned

3 peaches, chopped

20 cherry tomatoes, halved

Optional toppers: tikka spiced chicken, crunchy seed mix, flaky salt & cracked pepper

In a big bowl, whisk the miso, balsamic, oil, lime juice & heat to form a dressing.

Toss the rest of the ingredients in the dressing and serve with optional toppers.

Serves 3 as a big salad

Missed the acrobatics troupe playing for Eid on the big stage, but had a nice bonus-day-off walk around a mall we rarely make it out to lately.

Do you see this? How is looking this cute – and grumpy – legal? Make no mistake: this girl was so happy to have a bear hood, she tried to immediately fall asleep and then happily wore her hood up for the afternoon, despite her jealous butt of a brother trying to take it off of her.

I’d like to say ‘recipe coming soon’ but I have zero idea what I actually did for flavoring – ramen with chicken stick made from the carcass of a rotisserie chicken + scallions, fried garlic, black garlic, chili garlic sauce, jammy egg, ground pork fried up to crispy, scallion tops, togarishi & sesame/seaweed mix. It was just what the doctor ordered.
