Rice stick salad is a terrific vehicle for vegetables. Play around with the ingredients here - if you have different vegetables than those called for, try them. You might shred lettuce in addition to the cabbage, add some bean sprouts, add a minced chili or some cayenne if you want a little spice.

2 carrots, grated
2 stalks celery, sliced thin
2 apples, grated
6 radishes, grated
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped dried apricot
1/2 sliced almonds
1 cup plain yogurt or 1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup oil
1 dash salt

Steps:

  • Pour over the salad and toss to combine.
  • Chill before serving.
  • Line a salad bowl with some lettuce leaves and fill with the fruit and vegetable mixture for a pretty presentation.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice sticks: For this salad, it's best to use thin, dried rice sticks. These will cook quickly and evenly in the boiling water. You can find rice sticks at most Asian grocery stores or online.
  • Shred the vegetables thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful and varied your vegetables are, the more delicious and visually appealing your salad will be. Some good choices include carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and radishes.
  • Don't overcook the rice sticks: They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a slight chew to them.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A good dressing will help to bring all the flavors of the salad together. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own. If you're making your own, try a simple vinaigrette made with rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Rice stick salad is best served immediately after it is made. This will help to prevent the rice sticks from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Rice stick salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice sticks. With its vibrant colors and variety of textures, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
