Things have been crazy around here. It's almost finals week, I've been spending a ton of time with Dustin, and on top of all of the madness in my life, my university is suffering a string of bomb threats (12 or 13 so far!) which have been disrupting class (3 of my classes).
Anyways, I've been eating out a lot and simple meals...neither of which are worth blogging about.
So, today I decided to make something intricate (but not too hard) for myself (and you wonderful people, too).
BEHOLD!
So what is this anyway?! Is it a smoothie? A vegan milkshake?
NEITHER!
This is the beginning to.....
COLD PLUM WILD RICE SALAD
Ingredients:
4 Plums
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp sugar
4 Plums
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp sugar
1 cup wild rice (cooked)
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp oil of your choice
1 tbsp agave (or sweetener of your choice)
5 mandarin oranges (1 whole, 4 in slices)
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp oil of your choice
1 tbsp agave (or sweetener of your choice)
5 mandarin oranges (1 whole, 4 in slices)
1/2 cup mint (chopped)
3 green onions (chopped)
Walnuts, pecans (optional)
Core and slice up plums (leave on skins) into small pieces. In a bowl, add lemon juice & sugar. Toss.
Heat a skillet on medium heat and place the plum mixture into the pan.
Heat plums until mushy.
Remove from pan and place into a blender. Add oil, vinegar, agave, and juice of the one whole mandarin orange. Pulse until liquid.
In a large bowl, add rice, green onions, orange slices, and mint. Pour plum sauce mixture over the rice. Toss together until everything is well coated.
You can also add in some nuts for extra protein.
SERVE CHILLED OR ROOM TEMPERATURE!
Do not adjust the color on your monitors! It IS that pink. It looks weird but it's is absolutely delicious!
