[Cooking with Fran] Mixed Greens with Garlic Wasabi Mayo
I love cooking and one reason why I always look forward to hosting a simple lunch or dinner party here at home is for me to be able to experiment on a couple of dishes for my family to enjoy.
Keeping up with the healthy eating trend that is currently being practiced by my clan lately, I whipped up a refreshing Japanese-inspired salad that turned out to be a hit with my dear guests.
Here's sharing with you my little masterpiece.

What you'll need:
