Asian Persuasion Summer Salads

Rita & Rosie's Kitchens, Soups, Salads, Sides

[donotprint]

Here are two of our favorite summer salads. Both recipes have a spicy Asian flair, with rice vinegar, soy sauce, chilis and green onions. 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. Raisins are the ringer ingredient in Rosie’s slaw, adding a sweet balance to the chilis and vinegar. 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. Add to your barbecue menus with few more of our favorite salads. Welcome to summer! [/donotprint]

    I made both this Rice Salad and the Asian Slaw for a BBQ and they were hits! I used Trader Joes frozen Jasmine rice for the Rice Salad – that was quick and easy and delicious too! I’m sure using the frozen brown rice would be tasty also. In the Asian slaw, I substituted Golden Raisins…looked and tasted really good!
    Thanks Rosemary and Rita! Anita

      Those are great tips Anita! We love shortcuts like the frozen rice, and you’re right that the golden raisins look pretty in the slaw. Thanks for giving our recipes a try!

Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do you care or wonder what the developer did different? Or do you think it was fancy food styling and photography? There’s lots of reasons —like different pans, ingredients vary, your whipped eggs may turn out a little different than mine because they are fresher, older, different hens.... and on and on. I hope you don’t get discouraged when images aren’t the same as your results, and you can see by mine, even when it IS my recipe there are variations. The cake on the plate is gluten free, and didn’t bake as golden as the flour version. (And my oven is currrently on the fritz, believe it or not! 😂)

Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. P Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. Perfect after a day of baking, biking, gardening, and escaping into a good book on the sofa by the fire.  Recipe inspired by  @cheflauriegauguin. We spice it up with a smear of hoisin sauce on a Trader Joe’s Carb Savvy whole wheat tortilla to wrap it all up.
(If you want to know, the book I’m reading is The Knitting Circle by @annhood56)

Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll kee Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll keep raw cashews on-hand always. Or try with another nut, and let me know which you like best. My gift to you is the recipe below 🙂
Original recipe @leitesculinaria and @inagarten but I first enjoyed it from @mmfooddrink. 🙏 this recipe has been a gift that keeps giving 😂. 
Merry Christmas!

Rosemary Roasted Cashews
 
Heat oven to 350°F
 
Spread 1 pound raw whole cashews on a baking sheet (I usually line sheet with parchment). Bake for 15-20 minutes turning several times until toasted a deep golden brown.
 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl,  microwave 1 tablespoon salted butter until melted.
Stir in:
one rounded tablespoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 
Add hot cashews to bowl as soon as they are toasted.  Stir and stir until cashews are cool and coated with herb mixture.  Stirring while the nuts are hot is the trick. Cool completely in the bowl.
