What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Fabulous Fixings: Xinjiang Tiger Salad! As suggested by its name, this dish challenges you to imagine the stripes of a tiger when arranging it on a salad plate. Not only that, its intensity can surprise you like the whip of a tail when the heat of the chili pepper attacks the palate. I find chewing on cilantro tames that fiery beast. Now the question remains. Are you brave enough to try it?!?
XINJIANG TIGER SALAD
Ingredients:
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 red onion, sliced thin
3 green chilies, sliced
1 handful cilantro, leaves
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 pinch sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
Arrange tomato slices and red onion slices on a salad plate. Too with green chilies. Place cilantro leaves onto plate. Combine balsamic vinegar, sugar, and sea salt. Mix well. Pour into a condiment cup. Drizzle over vegetables, gently toss, and serve.
Thank you, Gail, for the wonderful salad, perfect for my meal!

Looks delicious! Well, as long as you swap out parsley for the cilantro when I show up! Pretty please?

Lovely presentation, but I am wondering about the fish so close to the tiger; isn’t it in danger?
It provides a nice color accent, of course.
