What makes this mizuna salad special is the dressing. I guess that's what makes all salad special. Right? It's not so much about the salad part as it is about the dressing. At least for me.

I really like yuzukosho and have played around with it over the years. It works well on it's own and as part of a sauce or dressing, like we're making today.

There are many types of yuzukosho and a few colors, but you're likely to only find red or green, which are the most common.

If you like spicy foods, yuzukosho is sure to add a kick to each bite. If you aren't keen on spicy, be conservative with it.

For this Japanese style salad, we also add in some Japanese cucumbers, currants (or raisins) and some chopped cherry tomatoes. Sometimes I'll throw in some aburaage (fried tofu skin) or some walnuts to add some layers of flavor and texture.

Looking for a new way to enjoy your salads? Try this yuzukosho dressing recipe and you might add more salads to your routine.

If you can't find mizuna greens it's no big deal, just use baby greens. Mizuna has a mild flavor and I like it primarily for it's crunchy texture. Romaine lettuce could be a good alternative if you want the crunchy texture.

As for other ingredients in this salad I might also suggest a handful of farro or barley but just as an accent, not to make it a main course. I'm not sure the dressing is powerful enough to also season a large amount of grains. But you can try it and let me know.
