Receta Fire Up The Grill, Toss the Slaw, I've Got The Fastest Salad Ever!!! Plus, Enter To Win Tropical Traditions Coconut.
Add a photoThere are days when no matter how much I love it, I just don't feel like cooking. When the lazy don't feel like cooking, the lazy go out to eat. That does happen sometimes but most of the time, since we try to watch what we eat and keep it on the healthy/organic side, I cook. It's one way of keeping track of what's going in, and since there are so many amazing vegetables to be found around here, it would be a shame to ignore them. I mean, they need me! So I keep a repertoire of easy to prepare side dishes. Things that can be made quickly, cheaply and above all... fast!
So, that's why I'm sneaking this recipe for probably one of the easiest tastiest things I've ever fixed, Radish and Peanut Salad.
The other reason I'm tossing this in here is that I'm cooking a major Indian dinner tomorrow night and I didn't want to stress over what to eat for lunch today. This salad goes with a total vegetarian meal, or just toss something on the grill and this snappy little salad makes a great alternative to the usual cole slaw.
Ingredientes
- 2/3 cup of roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1/2 pound of radishes
- 1/4 tsp of cumin seed
- 1/4 tsp of black mustard seed
- 1/4 tsp of turmeric
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1 Tbs of lemon juice
Direcciones
- Roughly chop 2/3 cup of roasted unsalted peanuts
- Wash, dry and chop about 1/2 pound of radishes. First take off the top and bottoms of each radish.
- Then quarter each radish. You can even cut them a bit smaller depending on the size of radishes.
- n a small saucepan heat 1 Tbs of vegetable oil. I use coconut oil.
- When the oil is hot toss in:
- 1/4 tsp of cumin seed
- 1/4 tsp of black mustard seed
- Shake the pan until the seeds start to pop.
- When they begin to pop add in:
- 1/4 tsp of turmeric
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- Take the pan off the heat and add in:
- 1 Tbs of lemon juice
- Mix it in well and let the mixture cool.
- Meanwhile mix the radishes and peanuts together.
- When the oil and spice mixture has cooled, pour it over the radishes and peanuts.
- Mix it in well. That's it. Really. No, really. That's all it takes.
- Bingo! You've got salad.
- So there's your 10 minute barbecue/block party/pot luck/picnic star!
- I'm getting back to my dinner prep, more to follow.
