You might never have heard the words tiger and salad together, but maybe the combination is the key to a better life. Or better dinners, at least. Tiger salad originates from northern china, and generally accompanies spicy foods. Here, it means a spicy cucumber and celery mixture, tossed with a sesame-lime dressing. Its the perfect complement to crispy shrimp, which get their crust from a coating of peppery cornstarch. Shopping tip: youll use the celery leaves from the top of the stems, so make sure to pick out a leafy bunch when buying groceries.
