Summer in Japan, I’m melting like an ice-cream! Lately, salads and cold dishes are on everydays menu (for some reason I’m also craving for spicy food :p). What type of food are you craving this summer?

Today I’ll be sharing this super-easy-tasty Japanese potato salad, with homemade low-fat Japanese vegan mayo! and scrambled tofu. The secret ingredient: Black Salt 😉

Instructions:

  1. Peel and cut the potatoes and carrots and boil until tender (around 15-20 minutes).

  4. Mix all together in a bowl. Don’t worry if the potatoes get mashed. Add mayo, pepper and salt to taste.
  5. I like to top it with some shiso. Enjoy!
