    Asian Brown Rice & Sesame Salad

    Jump to recipe

    Tis the new year and new year resolutions (mine is to do 3 things each day - do something for my health, do something for my happiness and do something for my wealth) so this recipe is for my health!  :D  This thermomix asian brown rice and sesame salad is the perfect accompaniment to your grilled freshly caught fish that you caught off the tropical island with its beautiful summer days .... or some fish that you got from the local fisherman/supermarket!  :D

    It is actually a really simple meal and can be paired with some shredded chicken as well if you want a lovely salad to take to work.  You could also steam some chicken with the asian dressing or use as a marinade and grill some chicken.

    This recipe was featured back in 2014 with one of the first cook alongs that I hosted.  WOW what a memory! 4 years ago!!!  Here is the recipe (which has also been updated) Asian Steamed Fish - but as I mentioned above it would be great with some chicken or just as a salad on its own.

      Made this last night as a main meal with left over lemon and herb marinated chicken shredded and added to it. Fantastic, hubby said I could make it anytime. I slightly heated his and I ate mine as a salad. Will definitely make it again.
