GIVEAWAY CLOSED…Winner announced soon
I recently received a bottle of NAKANO® Seasoned Rice Vinegar for my review. I had never heard about these seasoned rice vinegars before, but we really like marinating and grilling, so I was excited to give it a try.
I also received a little recipe booklet, and chose the Grilled Chicken Salad with Fresh Raspberry Dressing, to try. We love a great salad during the hot Summer months, and when you combine it with fresh fruit…even better!
NAKANO® Seasoned Rice Vinegars are naturally brewed, fat & gluten free and have a sweet, light flavor that dresses up any dish. Simply splash it on everything from salads to pasta to meat and vegetables. Enjoy the unique variety of distinctive flavors, only from NAKANO®: Seasoned, Roasted
Garlic, Basil & Oregano, Red Pepper, Pesto, Balsamic Blend and Italian Herb.

My favorite splash tip is to splash it on a baked potato in place of sour cream and butter…wow…that would save you a ton of calories and make the potato healthy!!

I think I found the right “splash tips”. I looked up the balsamic rice vinegar, and thought brushing over grilled veggies sounded yummy. I have a much neglected bottle of rice vinegar up in my cupboard. Right now it only gets used in making egg-rolls, but I’m going to check out some recipes and put that bottle to good use this week!
Stir into Boston-style baked beans!

My favorite tip is:
Cut a ripe avocado in half and remove pit. Pour seasoned rice vinegar into each half and eat with a spoon. Anything to make an excuse to eat a avocado.

I have many favorite ways to use Nakano Seasoned Rice vinegars. I was lucky enought to have stayed in Japan for several weeks. During this time, I learned many different things about cooking Japaneese foods. I make Kim-Chee, and I always add Nakano to it. I add it also when I make Sushi, and it is Great on any meats, especially fish!
