Spicy Cilantro Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Quarter the white parts of 4 scallions lengthwise; thinly slice the green parts. Soak the scallion whites in cold water, 15 minutes; drain. Whisk 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon each sesame oil, chili oil and kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Toss with the scallions (white and green parts), 2 bunches cilantro (leaves and tender stems), 1 thinly sliced serrano chile and 1 english cucumber (cut into thin strips).

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, sugar, ginger, oil, chile, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add remaining ingredients and toss well. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, sambal oelek, red pepper flakes and salt together in a bowl until evenly combined; allow to sit until flavors blend, at least 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, vegetable oil, and sesame oil; season with salt. Add lettuce, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. Toss to combine.

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, pepper, red onion, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl.
• Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, mint, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss in the lettuce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine quinoa, broccoli, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, minced green chile, red lentils if using, feta and freshly ground pepper. Toss together.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together lime juice, salt, and garlic. Add olive oil and whisk until amalgamated. Add to salad and toss together well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Put hard-boiled eggs through a sieve and sprinkle over salad. Season if desired with salt and pepper. Garnish each serving with a few slices of avocado.

Steps:

• Prepare the salad: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and asparagus, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the asparagus and peas are bright green and crisp tender. Drain and run under cold water until they are cold. Leave to drain.
• Prepare the lettuce: Run a sharp paring knife around the core and gently pull it out. Remove the outer layer of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to dry in a colander. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
• Prepare the spicy cilantro yogurt: To a blender or small food processor, add the yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and 1 jalapeño. Blitz until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water at a time to get the mixture moving in the blender if necessary.) Taste and add the second jalapeño if you would like it spicier.
• Serve as one large salad or divide among four individual serving plates: Add the lettuce chunks to the plate, and scatter the asparagus and peas on top and around the lettuce. Spoon the spicy cilantro yogurt all over the vegetables, dot with feta and squeeze the juice from the lemon half over everything. Season with salt and black pepper, and top with a few cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Mix in chicken, bell pepper, onion, cilantro and chili. Season chicken salad with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Add lettuce to chicken salad; toss to combine. Mound salad in large bowl. Garnish with tomato wedges and serve.
