Special Fish Cake Salad with Potato Dressing
A Unique Fish Cake Salad Tossed with a Creamy Potato Dressing Instead of Mayonnaise
A delightful fish cake salad mixed with a savory and slightly sweet potato dressing. It offers a refreshing twist on traditional salads.
For the Potato Dressing- 2 medium potatoes
- 3 Tbsp plain yogurt (or soy milk)
- 1.5 Tbsp plum extract (or syrup)
- Pinch of salt
- A sprinkle of toasted nuts or sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delightful potato dressing. Wash the potatoes thoroughly while they are still in their skins, then cut them into manageable pieces. Steam the potatoes until they are fork-tender. You can use a steamer basket or microwave them for about 8-10 minutes, covered, until soft. Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, peel them. Place the peeled potatoes into a blender along with the plain yogurt (or soy milk), plum extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. For an extra nutty flavor, you can add a small handful of toasted nuts while blending.
Step 2
Now, let’s get the salad ingredients ready. Briefly blanch the square fish cakes in boiling water to remove any excess oil, then rinse with cold water and drain well. Cut them into thick strips. Shred the crab sticks into similar thick strips, and cut the cucumber into thick julienne strips. If you prefer, you can remove the seeds from the cucumber to prevent the salad from becoming watery. In a large bowl, combine the prepared fish cakes, crab sticks, and cucumber. Add a generous amount of the homemade potato dressing. Stir in the mustard sauce, honey, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Gently toss everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing, being careful not to break apart the ingredients.
Step 3
Once everything is well combined, transfer the salad to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted nuts or sesame seeds for added texture and a lovely aroma. This fish cake salad is a simple yet sophisticated dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy this uniquely delicious and healthy salad!
