Anna’s California Salad: Substances

A couple of thought on the salad elements right here.

• Beans: Use no matter white beans you want right here – butter beans, corona beans, limas. I could not resist pan-frying mine after which chopping them, Anna makes use of them entire.
• Ponzu Sauce: Associated to ponzu sauce, Anna says, “Ponzu is a sweet-sour-salty combination of soy sauce and a Japanese citrus referred to as yuzu lime–the zippiest citrus taste I do know. It is accessible in most Japanese retailers. If you do not have ponzu, a bit soy blended with lime juice will work.”
