Directions
Making the Rice Salad:
- Cook Tony’s Creole Roasted Chicken Rice Dinner Mix according to package directions. You will need to add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 1/2 cups water.
- Place 2 corn cobs in a sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pan and turn down the heat for 2 minutes. Drain water off the corn. When corn is cooled enough to handle, slice kernels off cobs with a sharp knife.
- While the rice cooks, prepare other salad ingredients and Chimichurri sauce (see directions below).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine black beans, corn kernels, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, green onion and red onion.
- when rice is cooled, add rice to salad ingredients.
- Pour Chimichurri sauce over salad and gently toss together.
- Chill at least 20 minutes and up to one day (without the avocado).
- Add avocado just before serving and toss very gently.
Making the Chimichurri Sauce:
- Combine olive oil, lime juice, parsley, cilantro, garlic, Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning, lemon zest and oregano in a blender or food processor.
- Process or pulse for traditional rough chopped mixture. Blend longer for a smooth sauce.
TIP 1:
Reserve a few salad ingredients to scatter on top of the salad just before serving. This will help the salad have a clean, fresh look.
TIP 2:
You may also choose to serve salad with individual ingredients lined up on a platter. Drizzle with Chimichurri sauce and serve.
