Spinach-pomelo-orange salad

This is a modified remake of the salad I tried last year, Warm Spinach and Orange Salad in Asian Vinaigrette. I was able to buy spinach from my favorite vegetable vendor this morning. The fruit stall was just adjacent to the veggie stall so I made a quick peep if there was pomelo. They had pomelo. Great! So here's my Spinach-Pomelo Salad for lunch.

We (Billy, my husband and Ayana, my eldest daughter) enjoyed the salad with grilled salmon for lunch. How about giving this salad a try?

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year.

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin.
