Togarashi Watermelon Salad

5 min

Togarashi is a versatile all-purpose seasoning commonly found in Japanese households. Its flavor is a harmonious combination of spicy, savory, and subtly citrusy notes. Our blend specifically includes sesame seeds and poppy seeds for a satisfying crunch, orange for a touch of sweetness, and seaweed for that unique umami flavor.  When added to dishes, it enhances the overall flavor by introducing complexity, depth, and a delightful kick. This fresh fruit salad is a quick and vegan delight that combines juicy seedless watermelon and crunchy cucumber, tossed with zesty lime juice, aromatic sesame oil, and fresh basil. Gluten-free and bursting with summer goodness, this salad is a versatile must-try.

Popcorn Toppings

The endless number of various toppings out there make popcorn one of the easiest and most versatile snacks I know. It's my go-to snack not only for movies and Dr. Who marathons, but also ball games, potlucks and picnics. Everyone loves popcorn, and if you can bring yourself to cut down on the butter (I know I sure can't) it can be a low calorie, high-fiber option for snacking.Nothing beats a trip to the old ball yard for summertime fun, and here in Seattle we're lucky to have T-Mobile Park, one of the nicest ball fields in the country. We're also fortunate that on most nights you can get in for as little as ten bucks, but as everyone knows the real cost comes inside the park on the expensive food and drink. So to stretch my budget I like to make a big batch of popcorn, toss it with a few different popcorn toppings, put each batch in a paper bag and head down to watch the M's. It was the perfect snack to watch the recent historical perfect game, and I even had enough money left over to celebrate with a cold adult beverage!In the recipe below I'll tell you about some of our favorite popcorn toppings, but these aren't the only options by any means. We're always discovering great new spice blends to use as popcorn toppings and would love to hear what your favorite is! Let us know in the comments below and it just may end up in my bag at the next big Mariners game, Go M's!
