Let's eat pork cutlet with salad in summer!
"Tonkatsu salad" that you can enjoy tonkatsu refreshingly even in summer. The tonkatsu specialty store "Maisen" is selling the kit, so I tried it. The usual cutlet and shredded cabbage are transformed into completely different dishes.
This is the material. Purchased at Maisen except for cherry tomatoes and cucumbers
From mid-July, a campaign is underway at Maisen where you can buy pork cutlet or fillet and shredded cabbage together to get a free dressing for pork cutlet salad. You can also receive leaflets with simple recipes and sample photos at the store. Also, if you ask the shop staff, they will cut the cutlet into small pieces in advance so that it can be easily made into a salad.

Maisen's "special fillet". Have them cut at the store in advance
Shredded cabbage. You can buy it at a supermarket or convenience store
Dressing I got for free. It doesn't matter if you buy it
This time, I bought fillet (788 yen, tax included, same below) and shredded cabbage (129 yen). I had the cutlet cut into 10 equal parts. You will receive two types of dressing: "non-oil flavored lemon" and "Japanese-style dressing with the flavor of dashi stock".
The salad recipe is very simple, just spread the cabbage in a large bowl or deep plate, serve the cut pork cutlet on top, and dress.
Prepare a deep plate or bowl large enough to hold shredded cabbage
But I decided to add cherry tomatoes and cucumbers to the colors. It's more colorful and more like a salad, and it's also appetizing.
Since it's a big deal, add cucumber and cherry tomatoes
Of the two types of dressing, I chose non-oil. Complete if you put it evenly on the cutlet and cabbage. As soon as you look at the taste, the sour dressing blends into the crispy clothes, making it slightly soft and the taste of the fillet is enhanced.
Delicious cutlet goes well with not only strong sauces and soy sauce, but also light dressings. The shredded cabbage also has a fluffy texture and a moderately sour taste that makes it easy to eat. You can enjoy it more by eating the cutlet and cabbage together.
The dressing is soaked in the crispy batter and it is a little soft. The acidity enhances the taste of the meat
The cabbage tastes easy to eat. It ’s good to eat with cutlet.
The goodness of tonkatsu salad is that you can enjoy it without rice. A salad alone will be a satisfying lunch or dinner. Please do try that out.
