    Red Rice & Mango Salad with Sriracha Vinaigrette

    A beautifully simple, healthy and scrumptious salad that is ready in no time. What's not to love? This Red Rice & Mango Salad is tossed with Sriracha Vinaigrette that brings a punch of flavour.

    Today I'm excited to share one of my favourite salad meals! Nourishing, tasty and made with fresh seasonal mangoes. It's full of goodness and thankfully takes very little effort to prepare. Ideal for busy weeks when meal prepping is your lifeline.

    This is a toss and chill salad - you simply toss all of the ingredients together, pop it in the fridge to chill and then serve when you're ready to eat. I like to make it in the morning for lunches and dinners!

    The magic of Red Rice

    Red rice is wonderfully nutty, nutritious & flavoursome.  It's a fabulous ingredient for salads. It is unhulled or partially hulled rice with a red husk - which means the fibre content is high. Fibre aids in slowing down the rate at which carbs are converted into blood sugar, thus keeping you fuller and satiated longer.  This rice is also a great source of  B vitamins, calcium, zinc and iron, and other nutrients apart from being rich in antioxidants!

    Why use mangoes in the salad?

    Fresh and juicy mangoes are a star in this salad.  Ripe, unripe, sweet, sour, we love them anyway.  High in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E which is amazing for your eyesight, immunity, and skin. Rich in antioxidants, a great source of fibre, mangoes are alkaline in nature thus aid your digestive health. So add them into your salad generously, for good flavour and health!

    I'm partial to using slightly sour mangoes in my salads, for that unique flavour and texture.

    1. Simple Baked Red Rice Falafel – Tasha's Artisan Food says:

      […] Falafels  are very popular with vegetarians and vegans ( and the meat-eating fraternity too! ? )as they are not only appetizing but also a rich source of protein, complex carbohydrates and fiber. Baking instead of frying them lowers the fat content considerably. Now in this recipe, red rice adds a boost of bulk, iron,  antioxidants, various minerals and vitamins. It’s a low GI food like chickpeas, hence wonderful for diabetics. You can read a little more about it in one of my older posts Red Rice & Mango Salad . […]
