Jiko Salad
Cucumber, Tomato and Red Onion
|
 |
|
| Both sweet and salty, with watermelon and cantaloupe juices in the dressing, this is a favorite at
Jiko - the Cooking Place at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.
For many years we have enjoyed the cuisine at Jiko.
Chef-de-cuisine, Anette Gray, has had a lot of influence on our love of braised meat.
This salad, made at the "Cooking Place" is a wonderful signature dish at Jiko.
It is involved, as you can see, but well worth the work.

| Notes: |
2016-08-12: too vinegary. Served with Coquille St Jacque.
2014-08-31: Made to go with shepherds pie
2013-07-14: for us, with spinach, again, not arugula.
2012-01-13: We substituted spinach for the arugula.
2010-12-15: The market had an arugula/spinach blend which worked well.
