50 Shades of Purple (Omelette)


Are you one of those who just cannot get enough of food of the purple hue?
Grapes, yam, blueberries, eggplants and that red cabbage.
Traditional Filipino snack recipes like Halaya and Sapin-Sapin.  Even Ube Ice Cream!
Refreshing Berry smoothie and Grape juice slush!
The list can go on!

I surely have a penchant for such.  
To me, any dish with this bright shade never fails to turn up a notch in my yummy chart. 📈

So, sharing with you this colorful dish that my family gobbled up a few suppers ago.
Hope you give it a try,  tweak here and there to your taste and let me know how your version goes!

Food for thought:
Will too much purple food turn one's complexion a hint of purple? 😎  
The same way that eating carrots or squash too frequently can make one's skin orange!

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
