Cookie was raised in Japan, but has been in the United States for a number of years. She is married to Gary Miehls, who was an usher at our wedding. This is a truly international recipe, which she served to us at their home in New Mexico not long ago. The recipe comes from Cookie's mother in Japan, who has studied French cooking.
This salad is built on individual salad plates. Thus the amount you use depends on the number of salads you are serving.
