my salad is almost the same i just mix it all together and i use cut up seaweed too
I’ve made this a few times already – it was delicious. The second time I made it I grated the carrot and cucumber and I think it made it more “sushi-ish”, also, couldn’t find black sesame seeds where I live, so I used toasted – also yum!
I love this salad! It has become our favorite quick light dinner.
As the weather heats up I love this type of meal. This Shabbos will be only me and my husband, this looks like the meal of choice. Love the chopped up seaweed idea too!
Oddly enough, this made with fresh cooked salmon is pretty much the content of the Samurai Rice Bowl at World Wrapps, a chain in California.
I’ve made pretty much this for myself ever since I left California. It’s so addictive.
I love the idea of using smoked salmon. I don’t know why I never thought of that. Actually now I’m thinking of combining fresh and smoked to see what that’s like.
i read about some substitue items in the california roll sushi salad… i.e. instead of immitation crab.. jamie said to use lox….etc…. now i cannot find that part of the article??? can anyone help?????
Yes, you can find those notes here – http://www.joyofkosher.com/2013/04/the-best-thing-i-ever-ate-sushi-salad/
Love this salad, especially because I like California roll but was never too good at wrapping nori. This is much easier. I dont like imitation crab, but have made a version of this with halibut.
For those of year, scared to attempt making your own sushi rolls, or lack the time, this super easy & fast salad is the next best thing. Thank you Marcia Beth, for the chopped seaweed suggestion. Made this minus the radishes, carrots, & lime juice and served it mixed up. The kids devoured it to the last grain of rice. Thank you so much!!
