Steps:
- Remove peel and white pith from oranges. Working over a medium bowl to catch juices and using a small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release orange segments into bowl. Squeeze membranes over bowl to release any juices. Strain juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; reserve orange segments.
- Add 1/4 cup lime juice, oil, and fish sauce (if using) to bowl with orange juice; whisk to blend. Set dressing aside.
- Bring rice and 2 3/4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Season lightly with salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Spread out rice on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with dressing, and season lightly with salt; let cool.
- Place mangoes and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add rice and toss gently to combine. Season lightly with salt and more lime juice, if desired.
BLACK RICE SALAD WITH CUCUMBER, MANGO, AND MINT
Steps:
- Put all the veggies and grain in a big bowl and toss. Mix the dressing ingredients in a separate container and pour over the salad. Toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled. This salad is best 1-3 hours after it has been made. It will remain appealing for about 3 days in the refrigerator. Can be prepared a day ahead of time. Keep the dressing separate, as lime juice loses its tang quickly, and the salt in the fish sauce will cause the veggies to lose their crunch.
WEHANI RICE AND MANGO SALAD
Steps:
- In a medium sauce pan, over high heat, bring the rice and water to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and cook gently for about 40 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Drain and transfer to a shallow bowl to cool to room temperature.
- When cooled to room temperature combine the cooked rice with the citrus dressing and season with salt and pepper. Right before serving toss the salad with the mangoes and watercress leaves.
Tips:
- When choosing mangoes for this salad, look for ripe, firm fruits with a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too soft or have blemishes.
- If you don't have access to fresh mangoes, you can use frozen or canned mangoes instead. Just be sure to thaw or drain them before using.
- To make the salad more flavorful, you can add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint.
- If you like spicy food, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the salad dressing.
- For a vegan version of this salad, you can use a plant-based yogurt or mayo in the dressing.
