When I was in WA I went shopping in Koreatown and picked up a few fun kitchen toys. These Japanese fruit/vegetable cutters were among my booty. Over the weekend we made a couple green salads and I thought it would be a good time to try them out.
It was fun using the cutters to punch flower shapes out of carrot and cucumber slices (my 3 year-old niece was especially enchanted) and we ended up with the cutest salad ever.
I looked around online and found the cutters for sale here (but I’ve never heard of this site so caveat emptor).
That is the prettiest salad ever, did it take you forever to prepare? I'd love to get a set of these for fun lunches for the boys. Thanks for sharing!
I can't really tell from the picture…are those bell peppers flower shaped or just BORING RECTANGLES?
You should post the recipe for the dressing too. It was goooood.
Toooo…cute!!!!! These do look very Asian 😀
Ooh, I wonder if pretty veggies would entice LN to eat some. 😀
Those are really cute. Next time we need a salad for a YW function, Tag, your it!
Very cute! I think my mom had a set and did fun salad shapes, too. You should smuggle them out of her house for me… 🙂
How fun! I would love to try this.
Oh my gosh, I love this.
I'm glad you guys like the cutters…now I'm wishing I had picked up some extra sets as gifts!
And Ken, the recipe for that salad dressing is here: http://thenearestfuture.blogspot.com/2009/01/recipe-teriyaki-chicken-and-dressing.html
Thanks for posting the dressing recipe. It WAS good. The salad was really fun.
