KASHI SALAD

Kashi can be found in any health food market. It is a grain blend and it is also used for a breakfast porridge. This recipe comes from a health food class I've been taking. It really is very good. Kashi has a nice chewy texture and this salad has a great flavor. Low fat and you don't need salt for this because the tamari is quite salty. I hope you will try it! The prep time is for chilling the Kashi (it must be COLD!).

RICE SALAD WITH CURRANTS, ALMONDS AND PISTACHIOS



Rice Salad With Currants, Almonds and Pistachios image

Summer buffets often feature potato salad and pasta salad, but rice salad, quite popular throughout the Mediterranean, is another terrific option to keep in mind. This simple one uses pantry ingredients and is delicious on its own with a bit of salad or with grilled chicken or fish. To keep the rice grains separate, boil the rice in a large pot of water as for pasta.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups short-grain rice, such as arborio
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 cup currants, soaked in hot water and drained
1 cup whole roasted almonds, roughly chopped
1/2 cup whole roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons snipped chives
3 tablespoons chopped mint
2 teaspoons chopped savory or thyme
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add the rice and 2 tablespoons salt. Boil rice as you would pasta, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until done, but still al dente. Drain and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
  • Once cool, transfer rice to a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, tahini, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold mixture into rice.
  • Add currants, almonds, pistachios, chives, mint, savory and parsley. Toss to distribute. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice or salt as necessary. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Fresh produce: Use fresh mint, cilantro, and almonds for the best flavor.
  • Soak the almonds: Soaking the almonds overnight or for at least 4 hours helps to soften them and make them more digestible.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors together, so use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. You can also add a little honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made, as the mint and cilantro will wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This kashi mint and almond salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that's perfect for a summer meal. It's packed with healthy ingredients like kashi, mint, almonds, and quinoa, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. If you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad to enjoy this summer, give this one a try.
