Made an awesome salad the other night. I’m just calling it “Summer Salad”. Posting the recipe in case anyone wants to also make it. #grownostr #foodporn #summersaladinspring #nostrfood

Summer salad

Dressing/marinade

1/4-1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice

2-3 tbsp fish sauce

1 Jalapeño diced

5-6 cloves Garlic chopped

Fresh chopped cilantro (1/4 of a bunch)

Fresh chopped dill (2-3 tbsp)

Fresh chopped mint (2-3 tbsp)

Salad

Cucumber

Radish

Cabbage

1 Shallot

1 bell pepper

1 tomato

1-2 avocados

Green onion

1-2 carrots sliced

3 small honey Mangos or 2 large mangos chopped

Fresh dill (3 tbsp or more to taste)

Fresh chopped cilantro (rest of the bunch)

Fresh chopped mint (1/2 cup)

Toasted rice powder (sprinkled on top)

Meat

Shrimp or fish or chicken

Combine all ingredients for marinade together in jar/bowl, pour enough on top of fish for marinade, put the rest in the fridge and reserve for dressing. Marinade for 1-2 hours, longer if desired.

In a hot pan, add some fat (butter, olive oil etc per preference) pan sear fish/chicken/shrimp until cooked (for fish or chicken try to get a nice crisp crust created), once all the meat is cooked, take the remaining marinade and deglaze the pan with it. Simmer for a couple minutes to get all the bits from the pan. Transfer to dressing container in the fridge. Let chill until ready to serve.

To make toasted rice powder take 1/4c rice and toast in a frying pan (dry) until rice turns a golden/toasty brown color. Grind mixture in spice grinder/coffee grinder until powdery consistency is reached.

Chop up all desired salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Pour on desired amount of dressing and mix again.

Top with toasted rice powder and serve! Reserve some green onion for garnish on top if desired!
