Today is a simple salad day! Sharing a 10 minutes, filling lunch salad, my yet another lunch favorite. Clean, refreshing, and simple flavors for every day me. Some charred corn, leftover rice, fresh cucumber and clementines, and a handful of kale sprouts with simple lemon-kimchi dressing.

I feel, it is a nice change of pace from holiday cooking/baking... plus great utilization of leftover rice. If I am ever not interested to cook (lazy like always...), then salads like these are my best buddies!

Kale Sprouts, Rice, and Roasted Corn Salad with flavorful Kimchi Dressing

I made a variation of this salad for Vishal, for lunch few days back. The taste inspired me to try few more variations and this combination really awake my palate. Took pictures to share with you all. A simple everyday lunch salad recipe from my kitchen to yours!

Note: I just had leftover rice, but you can also use barley or quinoa instead.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

    Rice and Kale Salad
  • 2 Cup Rice (day old, or cooked and cooled)
  • small Bunch Kale (sprouts, or use broccoli sprouts)
  • 1 Corn (corn on cob, roasted on open flame)
  • 2-3 Clementine Orange (peeled, sliced in small bite-size pieces)
  • 1 Cucumber (thin round slices)

    • Kimchi Dressing
  • 1/4 Cup Kimchi (mild, rough chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon (lemon juice)

  • 2. While green onion and cucumber are marinating in kimchi dressing, char corn on the cob, on open gas flame until blistered all over. Remove corn from cob and mix into marinating onion-cucumber mix.
