Refreshing Summer Sushi Salad

Hey there, foodie friends! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation with you: a refreshing and unique dish perfect for those hot summer days. This Summer Sushi Salad is a twist on traditional sushi, combining all the flavors you love in a light and vibrant salad. Whether you’re looking for a light lunch or a delicious side dish for your next BBQ, this recipe is sure to impress.

I start by gathering all the fresh ingredients needed for this colorful dish. Grab some sushi rice, cucumbers, carrots, avocado, radishes, nori seaweed sheets, and pickled ginger. For the dressing, you’ll need soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a touch of honey for sweetness. Don’t forget to add some sesame seeds for that extra crunch!

  • 250g sushi rice
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 avocado
  • 5 radishes
  • 3 nori seaweed sheets
  • 50g pickled ginger
  • 50ml soy sauce
  • 30ml rice vinegar
  • 15ml sesame oil
  • 15ml honey
  • 15g sesame seeds

Now, let’s talk kitchen tools. You’ll need a sharp knife, cutting board, large mixing bowl, rice cooker (or pot), and a sushi mat for rolling. Make sure you have everything ready before you start prepping your ingredients.

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large mixing bowl
  • rice cooker
  • sushi mat

Start by cooking the sushi rice according to the package instructions. While the rice is cooking, prepare your veggies. Slice the cucumbers, carrots, avocado, and radishes into thin strips. Cut the nori seaweed sheets into small pieces.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey to make the dressing. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly before transferring it to a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced veggies, nori seaweed, and pickled ginger to the bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top for that extra nutty flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, add some crispy tempura flakes for a delicious crunch. Serve the Summer Sushi Salad chilled and enjoy the refreshing flavors of summer!
