Drizzle over my favourite toasted sesame tahini honey dressing, and also you’ll have a salad that won’t disappoint. That is sort of like a rice bowl meets a giant inexperienced salad. Completely scrumptious! I like to recommend serving this with salted tortilla chips for scooping. YUM!

If there was ever a salad I may get my household enthusiastic about consuming, it’s absolutely a salad with rice. We may dwell off of bowls of steamed rice. It’s actually certainly one of our important meals teams. Actually, there’s not per week that goes by that I’m not making not less than one pot of rice.

Why Rice?

Our obsession has been fueled by my one and solely mom; she is the queen of rice! We loved rice a lot rising up. She used to make pots of on the spot rice, however then my dad took over, and it turned steamed rice with salt and butter.

I’m undecided how he realized to prepare dinner the right pot of rice, however to at the present time, I exploit his methodology. Rice and water in a pot with a slice of butter. Deliver to a boil, cowl, and scale back the warmth to low for five minutes. Then flip the warmth off and let the rice sit, coated, for an additional 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork (at all times a fork) and serve!

My brother, Crimson, has advised me a number of instances that he’ll eat nearly something over rice. You get the purpose; we love rice. Okay, shifting on!

I nearly at all times have leftover bowls of rice within the fridge. With all that rice, you possibly can guess that rice salads occur usually. However I like my rice heat, so crispy rice salads are what I’ve been making recently. I crisp my rice up within the oven, identical to I do after I make hen fried rice. Then, I toss it with numerous salad substances! This salmon salad is my dad’s favourite; spicy chipotle honey salmon rice salad by no means disappoints!

Steps

Step 1: make the rice

This isn’t a traditional crispy rice. It’s made on a sheet pan to make issues quick and simple.

I wish to toss my rice (I often use jasmine) with butter, toasted sesame oil, and garlic. Then I bake it to dry it out and get it crispy. Subsequent, I add somewhat tamari and permit it to bake into the rice.

The rice comes out crispy, garlicky, and salty. It’s so good!

Step 2: make the salmon

I prepare dinner the salmon whereas the rice is cooking – all in the identical oven.

It’s fairly straightforward. Toss the salmon cubes with butter, then chipotle, honey, and tamari; bake till crisp.

Step 3: now the salad

Shredded cabbage, chunks of avocado, cucumber, chopped jalapeño, cilantro and peanuts.

You might additionally use kale rather than the cabbage, however I’m loving easy cabbage recently.

Step 4: the tahini dressing

A mixture of creamy tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, honey, and a few teaspoons of tamari or soy sauce. The tahini supplies an exquisite creamy dressing, whereas the honey and tamari add candy, savory, and salty flavors.

Add chili flakes on high for some spice!

Step 5: placing all of it collectively

Spoon the recent rice over the salad, add the salmon, after which the dressing. Give this a delicate toss to mix – eat immediately!

As talked about above, I like my rice heat, and actually, lots of my salads too. So heat and crispy is the way in which I love to do it!

That is odd, however…

For serving, I’ve began including do-it-yourself tortilla chips. I like scooping up the salad with the chips. They add a yummy salty crunch!
