This unique potato salad comes in response to customer requests for using our freeze-dried natto and tamarind paste in recipes. We thought it would be a great idea to subdue the texture and mellow the flavor of the natto into some favorite dishes while turning up the pizazz at the same time with tamarind paste. For those who are hesitant about the texture and flavor of natto, but want the gut-health benefits, this salad would be a great start! Remember to prepare the natto ahead of time as instructed on the package. Although we did not peel the potatoes, feel free to do so once cooked and cooled enough to handle. The peel should slip off easily.

Avocado, Tomato, and Natto Salad
In Japan, natto is a daily staple, contributing greatly to the health and longevity of the Japanese people. However, for most Westerners, it’s an acquired taste that many never achieve. With the right recipe, however, natto can become a delicious ingredient as its flavor and texture melds beautifully with the other ingredients in the recipe. This salad is a flavorful, excellent way to get the HEALTHY GUT benefits of this traditional Japanese favorite. Try this salad as a side dish to a main meal, or with buttered, sourdough bread or served over hot rice.
Pear Salad with Roasted Walnuts and Mango-Primal Dressing
Enjoy this salad all year long by going with the seasons. For example, in summer, consider using peaches and sunflower seeds in place of pears and walnuts which are better suited for fall and winter. This should yield 4 servings.
