While on the train yesterday, I was reading my 'Discover America' magazine, which I took with me from the national 'holiday fair' last month. Travel magazines and me usually go together very well and they keep me entertained for a long time.
I think I know where my next trip will take me! (after going to New York and Australia that is) I think I'll go back to the USA, and drive from Seattle to Chicago, or the other way around! I'll need about a month, and I'll definitely visit Yellowstone NP and Colorado! I've heard great stories about Colorado, especially foodwise, and the nature is supposed to be beautiful too. Then there's Chicago, with its 'Magnificent Mile', for awesome shopping purposes! Ahh, I can hardly wait..
Furthermore, I simply love driving, and from what I experienced from driving in the USA during my trip in 2009 it's an excellent location. I love the many different types of landscapes and nature in the USA. So I might just go there! It would be great if I'd have more than a month to stay, then I could drive all the way through to Florida..
Here's an easy salad recipe for everyone to make. It's a great way to use some leftover turkey!
I was a little wary of using daikon in a salad, because I'm not a big fan of radishes, but after making those daikon fritters last month I realised they actually taste really good and wanted to try them raw.
I hope you all will enjoy this daikon turkey salad as much as I did.
Daikon turkey salad (serves 1)
- 1/3 daikon, grated into julienne strips
- 1 small winter carrot, grated into julienne strips
- 150g turkey fillet, cooked
- 1 handful of raisins
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley and coriander, chopped (dried works too)
- 1 tsp extra vierge olive oil
- 1 tsp coconut milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp agave syrup
1. Add grated daikon and carrot to a plate or bowl and mix.
2. Shred turkey with a fork into thin strips and add to vegetables.
3. Add raisins, sesame seeds and herbs and mix.
4. In a small bowl, combine oil, coconut milk, lemon juice and agave, mix well and pour over vegetables. Mix well and serve.
Instead of the turkey you can also use mackerel if you're looking for a fishy salad.
