Rita's Ensalata Mare E Terre
Sonya's sister, Rita Speranza, is a chef at Wild Oats Natural Marketplace in West Hartford, Connecticut. This is her variation on a salad she makes for the fresh-foods deli. The grains and vegetables come from the earth, and the seaweed from the ocean – hence this dish's melodic name.
Ingredients
Instructions
Cook grains (separately) until al dente and set aside. (Wheat berries and wild rice take about 75 minutes to cook fully; kasha cooks in about 20 minutes.)
Place seaweeds in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit 15 minutes, to absorb water and soften. Drain water; reserve seaweed in a large bowl. Add grains, vegetables, and cashews. Add Ginger-Garlic Dressing to taste; toss until salad is well coated and fully combined. Garnish with red pepper and green onions.
