I was in the mood for a simple, cool salad using hard-boiled eggs. All I had in my crisper to accompany it were green onions and tomatoes. So it was up to the dressing to "dress up" the meal. A straightforward vinaigrette would have been ok, but I wanted something creamy to complement the eggs. Yet it needed to be astringent to go with the tomatoes.Limes and a tube of wasabi paste came to mind. That's how this Creamy Wasabi Lime Dressing came to be:
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp wasabi paste, to taste
- 1 heaping Tbsp of mayonnaise (regular or light)
- grated rind of 1 lime
- juice of 1/2 a lime (less if you don't like it too tart)

At first glance, this picture reminded me of Neapolitan ice-cream (for me a comfort food since childhood). Its a very "sweet" looking photo and only after reading the post did my perception for flavour shift to the appropriate taste (the taste buds had a physical response). Now I'm craving ice-cream!
