 These are two of our favorite salads that we make year-round. Both recipes have an Asian flair, with rice vinegar, soy sauce, chiles and green onions . Raisins are the ringer ingredient in Rosie’s slaw, adding a sweet balance to the red pepper flakes and vinegar. Rita’s brown rice salad adds a ‘wow’ combination of cilantro, basil and mint that we highly recommend if you’ve never tried this trio. When you buy rice vinegar there are two types – ‘seasoned rice vinegar’ and ‘rice vinegar’.  Seasoned has a bit of sugar and salt, so note which vinegar is in which recipe. The rice salad uses seasoned rice vinegar; the slaw uses plain

Spicy Asian Slaw Makes 4 servings. Prep time: 10 minutes

3    tablespoons soy sauce
2    tablespoons rice vinegar
1    tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1    pkg. (8-oz.) coleslaw mix (or 4 cups shredded cabbage and carrots)
1/2 cup Sun-Maid Natural Raisins
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/4 cup peanuts or chopped cashews (optional)

Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add coleslaw mix, raisins and green onion. Toss well. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours before serving. Add peanuts or cashews, if desired.

 Asian Rice Salad

Rita’s Thai Rice Salad with Three Herbs

1/2  cup seasoned rice vinegar*
2      tablespoons peanut oil
1      tablespoon soy sauce
1      tablespoon packed brown sugar, optional*
1/2  teaspoon hot chili oil, optional
4     cups cooked short grain brown rice**
1/2  cup shredded carrots
1      medium cucumber, seeded and sliced
2     green onions, sliced
1/3 cup each chopped cilantro, mint and basil
Zest of 1 lime

Whisk together seasoned rice vinegar, peanut oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and if desired, chili oil. Add remaining ingredients to a large bowl. About 10 minutes before serving, pour dressing over and stir to combine.

*Seasoned rice vinegars vary. I used Marukan brand and omitted the brown sugar.
**Use 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups raw rice; different types have different yields. Cook as package directs, then chill well. (Make rice a day ahead if you want.) My favorite brand of short grain brown rice is Tsuru Mai, grown in California.

If you are a scratch pie dough maker, please post in comments the type of pie dough you make: butter, shortening, lard, oil?  I wager not too many of you make pastry with oil but it is an old time Betty Crocker basic I’ve made since I was a little girl. It’s light and crisp, and has zero saturated fat. Get the recipe for Stir ‘n Roll Pie Crust by tapping the link in my bio then type Pie or Tart in th Q box.

Such abundance in my weekly CSA! If you need some Such abundance in my weekly CSA!  If you need some oomph in your meal planning, I recommend a Community Supported Agriculture box (CSA). Here’s what I see in this box:
•pan roasted cauliflower (see my previous post)
•carrot top pesto pasta 
•stir fry with carrots, bok choy and spring onions
•very fresh lettuce salads with roasted chioggia beets
• something with collard greens—help me out with a collards recipe please! 

Look for CSA’s in your area and I bet your menus will get a re-fresh with super fresh produce!
