AMAZING
1st WING BEAN SALAD
Candlenut, Singapore
“Baby red radish, lemongrass, cashew nuts, prawns, fried anchovies, calamansi lime dressing.” This was mind-blowing. 🤯
REALLY GOOD
2nd TOP SECRET RECIPES® VERSION OF T.G.I. FRIDAY’S PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN SALAD
Soots Cook Nook, Private
BRIEF: “Pecan-crusted chicken, served sliced and chilled on salad greens tossed with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, topped with mandarin oranges, sweet-glazed pecans, celery, dried cranberries and bleu cheese.” SOOT’S TAKE: I think the first time I had this (or some version of it) was at Hard Rock Cafe at Union Station many, many, many moons ago. It was one of the few times in my life I’d enjoyed a salad so much that I’d pack what I couldn’t finish in a puppy box to go every time I’d meet my dad in St. Louis. So, many, many, many moons later, I’m grateful to be able to replicate this at home and be brought back to the before times…
3rd HUDSON VALLEY SMOKED TROUT AND AEROFARMS SALAD
SQ 021, Newark - Singapore
Aerofarms micro spicy mix, zucchini, pickled red onions, spiced hazelnut, Tahini roasted cauliflower and dressed with lemon curd vinaigrette
4th CUCUMBER SALAD
Din Tai Fung Pacific Place, Seattle
BRIEF: “Light and refreshing, with a hint of spice: Crisp Persian cucumbers combined with cuts of mild fresno chili peppers and sliced, fresh garlic—all tossed together with drizzles of sesame oil and our signature Din Tai Fung chili oil.” SOOT’S TAKE: Hard to go wrong with this although I’ve yet to attempt it myself.
5th MANGO SALAD
Thai Tuk Tuk, Kuala Lumpur
When you’re not feeling very hungry but have to eat anyway, opt for Thai because it will likely change your mind about your hunger state. This was so delicious with the sticky rice I ordered.
6th TWELVE LEAF AND HERB SALAD
A Little Farm On The Hill, Bentong
Harvested 3 days ago and bursting with flavor to rival their own insipid grocery store counterparts.
7th GARDENERS BOWL
The Grounds of Alexandria, Alexandria
BRIEF: “green lentils, mandarin oil, roast carrots, beetroot, pickled onion, spinach, roast chickpeas, goat cheese, macadamias, honey & lemon dressing” SOOT’S TAKE: A most delicious and substantial salad bowl.
8th HALF AND HALF COLD SALAD
Charcoal Fish Rose Bay, Rose Bay
I couldn’t just pick 1 salad so I picked 2 halves: one of Roast Carrots (Tiger Milk, Fried Corn & Coriander) and the other of Fried Eggplant (Salsa Macha, Yoghurt & Coriander). Not that I would’ve enjoyed having so much of the same kind anyway (it was a lot). They were both excellent, chock full of flavor and texture.
9th 黑松露麻酱捞冰菜 ICE PLANT SALAD WITH BLACK TRUFFLE SESAME SAUCE
TungLok Peking Duck (The Grandstand), Singapore
New item on the menu from when I was here last (2 years ago?) and there were 2 things new about it from my perspective: 1. I’d never had ice plant before which I’d seen and been intrigued by at my green grocer’s. So I think I’m going to buy some! 2. The combination of goma dressing and truffle was a first for me and might I say, am awesome flavor pairing, so a brilliant move on the chef’s part.
10th YEUNG MAN COOKING’S WAKAME SEAWEED SALAD | 海藻サラダ
Soots Cook Nook, Private
My first time messing with wakame. I added fresh pea shoots to the mix which really complemented the seaweed and dressing and subbed jicama for daikon. It felt good to eat this.
11th AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN’S TOMATO AND BURRATA SALAD WITH PANGRATTATO AND BASIL
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Caprese-inspired salad with toasted homemade ciabatta, homegrown Genovese basil and cheese shop burrata. So delicious. I’m never going back to grocery store burrata.
13th SOOTY’S KITCHEN SINK SALAD 🥬🍅🌽🍉
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Leftover frozen corn + leftover watermelon dressing —> excuse to buy some romaine lettuce & cherry tomatoes for a salad. All gone!
14th NYT COOKING’S CORN SALAD WITH MANGO AND HALLOUMI
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Happy National Salad Month! Such a good idea to pair the lush sweetness of a perfectly ripe mango with the brininess of fried halloumi! Re-crisping some homemade, herby, garlicky pita chips for extra crunch was also a game changer. Definitely a salad I’ll be repeating.
15th SOOTY’S DIY SALAD
CS Fresh The Star Vista, Singapore
Romaine lettuce | Chickpeas | Edamame | Sweet Potato | Cheddar Cheese Cubes | Caesar Dressing Perfect antidote to yesterday’s meat-heavy lunch.
18th NYT COOKING’S COUNTRY PANZANELLA WITH WATERMELON DRESSING
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Delicious, refreshing and substantial. My first time enjoying watermelon as salad dressing and also my first time making panzanella. Such a great use of leftover ciabatta!
19th JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE & CELERIAC SLAW
Angie's Oyster Bar & Grill, Singapore
“Roasted sunchoke mousseline & chips, celeriac apple celery slaw, radish, jicama, blue cheese.”
22nd NYT COOKING’S CANLIS SALAD
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Realized with chopped romaine, bacon, croutons (of the recently-baked pane Italiano) and cherry tomatoes, cloaked in a thick, lemony, eggy dressing and further enhanced with chopped mint and oregano. In Sam Sifton’s words, “A Canlis salad, properly prepared, is a revelation.”
24th SOOTY’S SALAD BOWL
Hamburg Steak Keisuke, Singapore
Brownie points for having corn niblets and chickpeas.
26th GRILLED CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH FETA DRESSING
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Excellent summer salad that’s also sold me on feta. I’ll add bacon and jammy eggs next time.
27th NYT COOKING’S FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS
Soots Cook Nook, Private
A bright, clean-tasting salad of fennel, celery, apple, toasted walnuts and Pecorino Romano.
29th HOUSE SALAD
Bao Makers, Singapore
With creamy goma dressing.
30th TOSSED SALAD AND RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE
Soots Cook Nook, Private
A salad a week, I told myself beginning of the year. We’ll see how long it lasts...
