Pour vinaigrette over okra mixture; toss gently to coat. While Japanese okra salad is prepared by boiling the okra to your desired tenderness, it is best served chilled especially during hot summer months. The dressing for this okra salad is quite simple.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have okra salad using 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Okra Salad:
  1. Take 250 gms Ladies finger (Okra)

Okra is not just for Gumbo! We eat okra in Japan, too. It is actually a very popular vegetable in summer time there. Okra is rich in vitamins and minerals, and so a healthy choice.

Steps to make Okra Salad:
  1. Start by preparing the vinaigrette, in a small bowl mix the sliced onion, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper and leave to marinate. I tend to do this in advance; the longer the better you end up with a scrumptious pickled onion marinade.
  2. Wash the ladyfingers, cut the end bits, place in a bowl or microwave steamer drizzle with some water and a little sprinkle of salt. Cover and steam in the microwave for 3-4 minutes
  3. Test the okra if cooked by inserting a sharp knife if soft but still with a crunch then it’s perfect.
  4. Empty in a serving dish drizzle with the marinated onion vinaigrette give it a good stir. (Adding the vinaigrette to the warm okra help to absorb the juices from the marinade)
  5. Leave aside until its cold before serving. Really delicious and healthy dish.
