Avocado And Rice Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine rice, tomato, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, jalapenos, olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Toss avocado with lime juice; stir into rice mixture.
• Cover and chill for 2 to 8 hours.
• Spoon mixture on top of shredded romaine lettuce.
• Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Once the rice is cooked, drain well and allow to cool.
• To make the dressing: combine the oil, vinegar and garlic.
• Transfer the rice to a serving bowl, stir in the avocado, scallions, tomatoes, chili flakes and dressing and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Transfer the scallions to a small bowl of ice water to crisp.
• Peel the cucumbers in alternating stripes, trim ends and cut cucumbers lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, if desired. Cut cucumbers into bite-size pieces (thin slices, 1/2-inch cubes, or smashed into irregular shapes), then transfer to a colander set in the sink. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside to drain, at least 5 minutes or up to 15.
• When you're ready to eat, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the skins, then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Stir to combine.
• Shake the cucumbers in the colander to get rid of any excess moisture, then transfer to the bowl with the avocado. Drain and shake the scallions in the colander. Add the scallions to the bowl.
• Stir the salad ingredients vigorously just until the avocado breaks down a bit. The cucumbers should be glossed with avocado but the majority of the avocado pieces should still remain cubed. Season to taste with salt, lemon and red-pepper flakes or hot sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the broccoli onto a baking sheet along with the red onion and 1 tbsp of the sesame oil. Roast for 20 mins or until the broccoli is tender. Leave to cool a little.
• Whisk the remaining sesame oil, soy, rice wine vinegar and honey in a small bowl. Toss the broccoli, rice, onion and dressing together in a large bowl, then gently mix in the avocado and coriander. Divide between bowls and top with the sesame seeds and chilli.
