MOOSEWOOD FRENCH RICE SALAD

Moosewood French Rice Salad image

I got this from the New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant back in the late 80's when I was a vegetarian and always looking for a way to use up my rice. This one is easy and tasty. I have taken liberties with the recipe...Chill time is listed under preparation time :)

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

3 cups rice (I like brown but you can try white also)
1 cup carrot, small dice
1 cup red bell pepper, diced (try green peppers too)
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
1 small celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4-1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram (use one or two of these)
chopped tomato (to garnish)
green olives, to garnish
dried currant (optional)
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)

Steps:

Place the cooked rice in a large bowl. Steam the carrots, peppers, mushrooms and peas separately until tender but still firm (please don't overcook).
Add the steamed vegetables, celery, and parsley to the rice. Whisk the olive oil, vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic and herbs together. Pour the marinade over the vegetable rice mix and toss gently.
Refrigerate until well chilled, stirring occasionally, so the marinade will flavor the rice.
When ready to serve, garnish with tomato wedges and green olives along with any of the optional ingredients above.
(Note: 1 have also topped with parmesan cheese but I have no idea how much I used - it was good!).

MOOSEWOOD CAESAR DRESSING

Just made this gem from the Moosewood Daily Special cookbook. Rave reviews from family and friends. Perfect for those who fear anchovies. Great springboard for tangy-dressing options. Would be wonderful on streamed cauliflower.

Ingredients

2 sun-dried tomatoes, softened (not packed in oil)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon capers brine
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 -3 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

Steps:

In a small bowl or ramekin, cover the sun-dried tomatoes with 1/4 cup boiling water and set aside to soak for 10 minutes. Drain and roughly chop the softened sun-dried tomatoes.
Place all ingredients in a blender and whirl until smooth.
Drizzle dressing on romaine lettuce and toss with optional croutons and Parmesan.
Note: I didn't have a lemon so used 3 tablespoons of the tomato water and a couple additional capers.

MOOSEWOOD WHITE BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD

Moosewood White Bean and Tomato Salad image

This is one of my favorite Moosewood recipes, and it is so easy! My toddler even loves this recipe. This cold salad is perfect during the hot summer months, and goes great with meals that are cooked on the grill. I find that adding 1 T red wine vinegar makes it absolutely perfect. Moosewood categorizes this recipe as a "Main dish salad" but I prefer it as a side dish. I always omit the celery because it is the one vegetable that I do not like.

MOOSEWOOD CABBAGE SALAD

Moosewood Cabbage Salad image

This comes from Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites. They recommend this slaw with Indian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Spanish, or American food. That's some variety! Prepare the dressing first so the flavor has time to develop. Cooking time is chill time.
