Apple Cheddar Kale Salad by Alison's AllspiceIt is finally here.  It’s salad season!  I love this time of year because my garden is bursting with fresh lettuce, kale, and arugula.

Burmese Pickled Ginger and Fried Garlic Salad by Alison's AllspiceSometimes you see a recipe that is so intriguing and different, that you just have to try it!  That was me when I saw a recipe for Burmese ginger salad.  I put my own twists on it and called my version a Burmese pickled ginger and fried garlic salad!

The dressing on this salad is made with fish sauce, and it is really the star of this dish!  I primarily eat vegetarian, so sorry to my vegetarian readers, but this recipe was just not the same without the fish sauce! Continue reading →
