Hello everyone. I’m Laka, a Japanese expat living in the United States. While Western salads—from American to Mediterranean, French, and German—often feature rich dressings, my recipes are intentionally low-fat and lightly seasoned. I hope these dishes help you discover the beauty of Asian salads made with the simplest ingredients.
