¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from one lime
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoons honey
2½ tablespoons sugar
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1-inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
4 cups chopped Napa cabbage or shredded coleslaw mix (I like to toss in a little shredded red cabbage for color)
1 cup prepared shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 small English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
1 cup cooked and shelled edamame
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the dressing, combine all of the ingredients except for the cilantro in a blender and process until completely smooth. Add the cilantro and blend for a few seconds until the cilantro is finely chopped. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the salad, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. If serving right away, drizzle the peanut dressing over top and toss; otherwise, serve the dressing on the side so the salad doesn't get soggy.

Provided by Kristen McCaffrey

Categories     Appetizer     Lunch     Salad     Side Dish

Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups cole slaw mix (red and green cabbage and shredded carrots)
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup shelled edamame
1/2 cup jicama, diced
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tbsp peanuts, chopped (for garnish)
1/4 cup peanut butter (or PB2 combined with water)
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp Asian garlic chili paste (sambal olek)
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1.5 tbsp warm water (more if needed)

Steps:

  • Making the dressing: Warm the peanut butter in the microwave until slightly melted. This step can be skipped but makes it a bit easier to stir. Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, rice vinegar, garlic chili paste, and ground ginger to a small bowl. Whisk together, adding water a little at a time until it reaches a smooth consistency. It should be thick but still pourable. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed - more soy sauce for salt, more lime juice for tang, more chili paste for heat, etc.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients. Add the dressing. Mix well and enjoy. I like to let it sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to combine.

ASIAN RICE NOODLE SALAD



Asian Rice Noodle Salad image

The best thing about this salad is how it comes together in no time at all. Asian rice noodles generally cook more quickly than wheat noodles and with the addition of the precut coleslaw mix the prep time is very minimal.

COLD ASIAN BROWN RICE SALAD



Cold Asian Brown Rice Salad image

I got this recipe from a friend who wrote it out for me from memory but never told me where it came from. It is a yummy blend of brown rice, veggies and my favorites- garlic and sesame oil. Serve it cold- we eat it at our summer beach bar-b-ques with grilled chicken. Yummm! Note: My friend recommened you start with 1 tsp sesame oil and add more to taste. Also- don't even think of trying to subsitute any other vinegar for the rice wine vinegar :0)

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups brown rice (measured uncooked)
1 large carrot, grated
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
3 green onions, diced small
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the brown rice according to package. Or try it the way my friend says she makes it- boil it like pasta in a couple quarts of water and drain! I haven't tried this yet- let me know how it works.
  • Meanwhile, prepare dressing and veggies.
  • Toss rice with dressing and cool in fridge.
  • Once cooled, add veggies and toss.
  • If not serving right away, reserve peanuts until just before serving so they will not get soggy.
  • Serve cold.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. For the best results, use brown rice that is fresh and fluffy, and peanuts that are roasted and unsalted.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or substitute your favorite veggies, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • Make sure to let the rice cool completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the salad: You don't want the dressing to overpower the other flavors in the salad. A little goes a long way.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This Asian Brown Rice and Peanut Salad Toss is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a tasty and healthy salad, give this recipe a try.
