Oat Salad Annie Recipe

Oat Salad Annie Recipe

  • 1/3 cup steel-cut oats
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1 scallion, minced
  • 1/3 cup orange bell pepper, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  1. In a sauce pan, bring the water to a boil. Add the oats, chili powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper and salt. Bring back to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, dice the celery and cucumber and mince the scallion and bell pepper. Toss in a bowl with the lemon juice and olive oil. Let marinate while the oats cook.
  3. When the oats are done, drain in a colander and rinse quickly with cool water to wash away a bit of starch but not so much that you wash way nutrients and flavor. Fluff with a fork a few times as it cools. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the oats to the veggies and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
