Black Rice, Corn, and Edamame Salad

This fresh and tasty Black Rice, Corn, and Edamame Salad is flavored with a rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil dressing. Wonderful served with seafood.

There are numerous types of rice being cultivated all over the world from short grain to long grain and plain to aromatic varieties. Some are pretty exotic like Wehani, red, mahogany, and black rice. These tend to be chewier and nuttier and are perfect for salads. Today’s Black Rice, Corn, and Edamame Salad uses a mix of black, mahogany, and wild rice.

I usually keep a variety of rice in my pantry for different purposes. For most days, I cook a mix of medium grain white and brown rice. Whenever I make curries, I use basmati rice. For sushi and rice cakes, I use plump and starchy short grain rice. I even tried a bamboo infused rice in this Chirashi recipe which has a lovely pale green color.

For a contrast of colors, I added boiled and shelled edamame (green soybeans) and fresh seasonal corn. The dressing is just a simple combination of rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. The salad was light, fresh, nutty, and tasty. It can be served as a side dish or a stand-alone vegan lunch.
