Prep
Instructions:
- Make the Crispy Rice
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 5–10 ml (1–2 tsp) avocado oil. Spread 195 g (1 cup) cooked rice in an even layer and cook undisturbed for 3–5 minutes until golden on the bottom. Flip and crisp the other sides for a further 3–5 minutes. Season with salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside. - Make the Lemon Vinaigrette
Whisk together 60 ml (2 lemons) fresh lemon juice, 30 g (2 tbsp) Dijon mustard, 5 ml (1 tsp) maple syrup, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 g (1 tsp) dried oregano, and 80 ml (⅓ cup) avocado oil. Season to taste. - Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine 150 g (2 cups) green cabbage, 170 g (1 cup) black-eyed peas, 150 g (1) green bell pepper, 200 g (1) English cucumber, 45 g (3) green onions, and 30 g (1 cup) fresh dill. Toss to mix. - Assemble and Serve
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Plate in bowls, top with 75 g (½) diced avocado, and sprinkle the crispy rice on top just before serving.
Common Mistakes, Notes, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes: Keep the crispy rice separate until serving to prevent sogginess. Use day-old rice — fresh rice has too much moisture for proper crisping.
Storage: Store salad (undressed) in the fridge for up to 3 days. Dress just before serving. Crispy rice keeps in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days.
Swaps: Swap black-eyed peas for chickpeas or white beans. Use spinach or arugula instead of kale for a more tender green.
Tips: Double the crispy rice batch — it disappears fast and is great on its own as a snack. Blend the vinaigrette for a fully emulsified, creamy dressing.
