SPANISH RICE SALAD OLE'



Spanish Rice Salad Ole' image

This is a wonderfully easy salad to prepare that I got from a magazine years ago. It is great served cold after the flavors have blended for a couple of hours, and it is equally as good served hot making it super versatile. Can be easily doubled or tripled. I often use this for large crowds and it is always a hit.

ARMENIAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD



Armenian-Style Potato Salad image

Potato salad is the first food I remember eating, so I really do have a deep emotional attachment, but every so often, I crave something completely different-and this Armenian-style potato salad is completely different. And completely delicious. And, unlike American-style, completely safe left on a sunny picnic table for hours. Serve drizzled with more olive oil and garnished with more fresh mint.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     No Mayo Potato Salad

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, quartered, and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon dried mint, divided
½ cup mild olive oil, divided
1 large red onion, diced
½ cup diced red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup lemon juice, or more to taste
½ cup thinly sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon Aleppo chili flakes
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
  • Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
  • While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
  • Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Unwrap; stir, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to personal tastes. The salad almost always needs more salt stirred in once it's tasted after being chilled. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tender rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Al dente rice is best for this salad. It should be slightly chewy, not mushy.
  • Let the salad cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the dressing.
  • Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients. This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, beans, or protein. You could also add some chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice salad is a delicious, refreshing, and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its vibrant colors and flavorful ingredients, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
