The Sweet Taste of Summer

May 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

CHILEAN PINK LADY APPLE RICE SALAD

I rarely eat puddings or cakes because I’m usually too full by the time that part of a meal comes around but I often hanker for a bit of sweetness in my food. I satisfy this by adding fruit to many a main meal or starter dish. The current favourite is to add crisp and crunchy apples to salads. And my favourite apple of the moment is Pink Lady. It has a lovely pink blush to the flesh and a champagne-like sweet flavour. The upside is that one apple only has 50 calories yet loads of Vitamin C.

This simple rice salad has a Chilean flavour by the addition of chipotle paste. It’s available from most supermarkets and has a wonderful smokey barbecue flavour with the kick of chilli. This is a perfect lunchtime vegetarian dish or delicious accompaniment to barbecue fare or cold meat deli-style platter.
