Cold dishes are ideal in summer and are perfect to take away. This delicious rice salad is therefore just the thing - refreshing, healthy, high in protein and fiber and filling! The salad is easy to prepare and keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days. The delicious satay sauce can also be stored separately. This avoids a soggy salad soaked in sauce😊 I used nectarines for a fresh kick. These can be replaced with other fruit as desired. I hope you enjoy trying out this recipe and have a wonderful summer!

Ingredients

  • 100g organic black rice
  • 50g cashew nuts
  • 50g cranberries or raisins
  • 2 organic nectarines
  • 1 1/2 tbsp light sesame seeds
  • 1/4 bunch coriander or parsley
  • 1/2 chili pepper (optional)

Satay sauce

  • 80ml coconut milk
  • 60g peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce - alternatively Cocos Aminos (soy-free)
  • 3/4 tsp red curry paste
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 small clove of garlic, pressed

This is how it's done

  1. Prepare the black rice according to the packet instructions. As soon as the rice is cooked, rinse under cold water and drain, set aside.
  2. While the rice is cooking, toast the cashew nuts and sesame seeds in a pan without oil. Wash the nectarine, pat dry and cut into bite-sized slices. Wash the coriander, pat dry and roughly chop. Wash the chili pepper, remove the seeds if necessary, cut into fine rings.
  3. For the satay sauce, puree all the ingredients until creamy.
  4. Mix the rice, roasted cashew nuts, sesame seeds, cranberries, nectarines, chili rings and coriander in a large bowl. Arrange the salad on two plates, drizzle with a little satay sauce and serve.
