Best Pickled Vegetable Salad With Nori Vinaigrette Recipes

QUICK-PICKLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Quick-Pickled Vegetable Salad image

The best salads don't have to be laborious. This one benefits from pickled red onions, which take only minutes to make and can perk up salads, seared meats and vegetables, pasta and even grilled cheese. Make a double batch, and you'll brighten future meals in a flash. And, for excellent flavor in every bite, season the ingredients before combining, bearing in mind that celery, carrots and firmer vegetables need far more salt and pepper than delicate salad greens.

Ingredients

1 small red onion, very thinly sliced from tip to tip
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons coriander seeds (optional)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 large celery stalks, trimmed and thinly sliced on a sharp angle
2 medium carrots, peeled and very thinly sliced lengthwise using a mandoline or thinly sliced diagonally
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest and 2 tablespoons juice (from 1 lemon), or 2 tablespoons vinegar
8 cups torn butter lettuce or romaine hearts (6 to 8 ounces)
3 small radishes, very thinly sliced (optional)
2/3 cup torn or chopped mixed fresh herbs (any combination of parsley, dill, basil, mint or chives) (see Tip)
2 to 4 teaspoons coarse or Dijon mustard, to taste

Steps:

Prepare the pickled onions: Set the sliced onion in a small heatproof bowl. Combine the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds (if using), salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high, then pour over onions. Stir to combine, let cool, then transfer onions and brine to a lidded container. Refrigerate until chilled. (Makes about 2/3 cup drained onions. Onions will keep up to 3 weeks.)
Prepare the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the celery, carrots, olive oil, lemon zest and juice. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
When ready to serve, add the lettuce, radishes (if using) and herbs to a large bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper and gently toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the celery and carrots to the vegetables in the large bowl, leaving the vinaigrette behind in the medium bowl.
To the vinaigrette, add the mustard, 1/4 cup drained pickled red onions and 4 teaspoons of the pickled red onion brine and stir to combine; season to taste. Add vinaigrette to salad, toss to coat and season. Serve immediately.

PICKLED VEGGIE SALAD

Pickled Veggie Salad image

Celery -- you buy it, knowing you'll throw away most of it. But wouldn't you like to use it up? And those scallions and carrots, too... Well, here's a recipe that revitalizes your fresh veggies by steeping them in a vinegar and water solution. This is a combination of several different recipes for Asian-style cucumber salads. I like to pour it over a salad, but you could just pick out the veggies and them solo. Use any veggies you like -- I've chosen the ones I most often have waiting around!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 pound angel hair pasta, noodles broken into thirds
2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil
1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 red or yellow medium bell peppers, cored, seeded and sliced lengthwise 1/8-inch thick
8 ounces snap peas, halved lengthwise
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
Toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Bring a pot of water to a boil, and season generously with salt.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
Once the water boils, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add half the dressing and 1/4 cup pasta water, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat.
Meanwhile, in a large deep-sided saucepan, heat safflower oil over medium. Add onion and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing. Stir to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, then add vegetable mixture (with sauce) and scallions to pasta and toss until well combined (add more pasta water if thinner sauce is desired). Season with salt and pepper.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.
