Cajun Rice Salad

"Peppers of every kind are crucial to Cajun cooking, this colourful salad uses red, yellow and green capiscums, as well as peppery spices. Make it as chilli-hot as you can stand, to give this vigorous dish its authentic Cajun effect! Posted for ZWT5, from Linda McCartneys "World Of Vegetarian Cooking" The recipe uses recipe#373598 for the vinaigrette, though you might choose to use another."

  1. Was this ever good! Ate the leftovers for breakfast. I used the recommended vinaigrette recipe, which was crucial to the taste. I made no changes to this recipe at all.
     
  2. Excellent dish. My daughter really enjoyed the heat in this rice recipe. I also used your Vinaigrette to go with it. Made for Cajun Photo Forum Event.
     
  3. I made this to serve alongside baked tilapia and thought it a flavorful side dish. It is very colorful & spicy. I enjoyed the heat level especially paired with a mild entree. I did use Lindas Creole Vinaigrette and Lindas Cajun Spice Mix. Made for Fall '09 Pick A Chef.
     
  4. This is a good side for BBQ’s. It has great color and the flavor complements the grill very well. Made using brown rice, Recipe #373598 which was made using Recipe #373544.
     
  5. This was a great addition to an already awesome dinner the salad with the Creole dressing, and the cajun shrimp - prefect that's all I have to say thanks Karen - awesome - made for veggie swap!!
