Nakano Rice Vinegars

Want a splash of flavor on your salads, in your casseroles, or on the grill? Nakano Rice Vinegar is a great way to add a bit of flavor with a minimum of calories. I received two full size samples of Nakano Vinegars, one plain, and one Garlic Flavored. I tried the Nakano Roasted Garlic Seasoned  on a chef salad.

Just a shake or two on the plate, and there was an added zing of flavor. Here are some more ways to use Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegars when grilling this summer:

       Grilled Watermelon: Brush NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar – Red Pepper on 1-inch thick watermelon slices. Let stand for 10 minutes and then lightly sprinkle with salt. Grill slices for 5-7 minutes on medium heat. Serve warm sprinkled with fresh mint.

·         Summer Fresh Tomatoes with Basil and Mint: Toss halved cherry tomatoes with chopped basil, chopped mint, extra virgin olive oil and NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar – Roasted Garlic for a simple and healthy side.

·         California Caviar: Create this savory side by combining NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar – Original with black-eyed peas, bell pepper, tomato and jalapenos. Find the full recipe here. Find a store near you that carries Nakano.
