Natto Salad 

I was in a hurry so this turned out a bit messy but this is a quick and yummy salad of natto and slices of boiled octopus on a bed of baby spring mix. I got the idea from Ochikeron’s blog Create Eat Happy but I used fresh shiso and scallions in the salad and made a ponzu dressing to complement the octopus. Some people may be put off by natto, but it is very good for you and is also a great source of protein. To get the maximum health benefits, soy should be eaten with either fish or seaweed, so I added strips of nori to my salad.
