@kalejunkie *NEW* CRISPY RICE CUCUMBER SALAD WITH LEMON TAHINI DRESSING and omgahhhhh perhaps this is one of my best combos of 2024, which is saying a lot! I have been seeing crispy rice salads floating around and as a gal that loves maximum crunch and texture, I had to create my own version. It is a WINNER. A party in your mouth that will have you swooning over this one and making it on repeat. You guys always ask for the link to the handheld mandolin, comment ‘LINK’ and I will DM it to you. ⁣
⁣
Makes 4 large servings or 6 smaller⁣
Crispy Rice⁣
2 cups cooked rice, cooled (I used jasmine rice)⁣
2 tsp soy sauce⁣
2 tb chili crisp/crunch (Trader Joe’s makes a good one, I used Momofuku this time!)⁣
1 tb sesame oil⁣
⁣
Salad⁣
5 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (or 1 large English cucumber)⁣
1 cup edamame, shelled⁣
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)⁣
1 bunch fresh mint, chopped (1/2 cup)⁣
2 avocados, chopped⁣
1 cup salted peanuts, finely chopped⁣
⁣
Lemon Tahini Dressing⁣
1/2 cup olive oil⁣
1/3 cup lemon juice (this is 1-2 lemons)⁣
3 tb tahini⁣
1 1/2 tb maple syrup ⁣
2 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
1 tsp cumin⁣
1/2 tsp kosher salt⁣
3/4 tsp ground black pepper⁣
⁣
First, prepare the crispy rice topping. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cooked and cooled rice to the baking sheet. Toss well with the soy sauce, chili crisp and sesame oil. Bake for 30-40 minutes, tossing half way through. Remove from the oven once the rice is crispy and set aside. Next, chop/slice all of the ingredients for the salad and add to a large bowl. Last, make the dressing. Whisk to together all of the ingredients for the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Pour dressing over the salad. Add the crispy rice last, toss and enjoy! ⁣
