Spinach-pomelo-orange salad

This is a modified remake of the salad I tried last year, Warm Spinach and Orange Salad in Asian Vinaigrette. I was able to buy spinach from my favorite vegetable vendor this morning. The fruit stall was just adjacent to the veggie stall so I made a quick peep if there was pomelo. They had pomelo. Great! So here's my Spinach-Pomelo Salad for lunch.

Spinach-Pomelo-Orange Salad

Ingredients:

2 bunches of fresh spinach, washed and cooled in several pieces of ice cubes

We (Billy, my husband and Ayana, my eldest daughter) enjoyed the salad with grilled salmon for lunch. How about giving this salad a try?

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year.

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it.

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago. Alugbati (Malabar Spinach) Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
