Leftover marinated Persian cucumber, a can of decent corn, green onion, colorful little tomatoes, a tart green apple, and the ricotta I made the other day were dressed with nuoc mam (always in fridge) and some grassy olive oil. No fresh herbs so I crumble in Mexican oregano. Also inspired by the same member's generous spice use I added touches of cumin and pumpkin pie spice. Garnished with dry roasted peanuts. It was lunch and dinner with my whole grain no-knead.
That's a unique flavor combination, I particularly love the idea of apples with Thai salad flavors.
