During the summer, it's easy to slice up a cucumber, some tomatoes, and sprinkle a little rice vinegar on top. Let it hang out for a bit, and just delicious. So light, and refreshing.

We make a nice salad dressing with rice vinegar.

I also use vinegars to flavor homemade soups, as I don't use any added salt. It gives the soup a nice flavor so I don't miss the sodium ( a little tips I learned from a chef).

I use it to make salad dressings. I also use it when cooking kale, collard greens, or cabbage - just a small splash towards the end of cooking.

Mostly salads and sorry but vinegar on fries.

I use rice vinegars on French fries I make by slicing sweet potatoes thin, sprinkling them with rice vinegar, smoked paprika and then baking in the oven. After baking and while hot if desired more vinegar and paprika can be added. I've heard vinegar will lower the glycemic index of potatoes

I love to just slice up summer veggies and put Nakano rice vinegar on top...especially cucumbers, zucchini and yellow summer squash. Yum!!!

As a dietitian I advise my patients to use a dash of vinegar in place of salt. It works well with soups, vegetables, potatoes, and many other dishes to add a savory flavor without sodium. It is tasty in homemade salad dressings too--and quick and easy to make.

I use rice vinegar on Snack Girl's Warm Lentil Salad - so yummy for a light, but filling lunch any time of the year!

I make Asian cabbage slaw all summer long using Nakano and olive oil dressin, with a couple of drops of sesame oil! Love it on Weight Watchers!

I use rice vinegar on just about anything. I love it to perk up leftovers, I also make baked potatoes in the microwave and love to put rice vinegar on them. It makes me think I'm eating french fries.

I use it to flavor green salads to reduce use of salad dressings!

I add 1 TBSP Nakano rice vinegar, 1 TBSP soy or teriyaki sauce, and 1 TBSP sunflower seeds to a bag of cole slaw mix. It's a low calorie, healthy food that fills me up and cools me down during the hot days of summer! 😊

I use it to perk up leftover brown rice to make a vegetable fried rice. Yummy!

I like simply it on my salads with a little olive oil and a touch of Mrs Dash. It is light and not overbearing like some other vinegar.

I use it to flavor grilled veggies for a filling side dish.

I love it on sliced cucumbers!

Use the Nakano rice vinegar for all types of marinades for summer grilling and it's always an ingredient in my homemade dressings.

I use rice vinegar on salads, veggies, and when I bake fish in the oven, along with a little olive oil. Yummy!

I use the rice vinegar on a tuna and cucumber salad. So yummy

I use Nakano rice vinegar with cole slaw mix, chives, sliced almonds and grilled chicken. Mixed with some pineapple juice...Yummy!

I use it on everything. I love it on tuna or chicken for a salad. I use it on veggies to freshen them up. I put it it in stirfrys, pasta dishes and marinate seafood in it.

I sprinkle it on grilled veggies too.

Wonderful product.

I like rice vinegar to make salad dressings. It's mild, so it smoothes out the flavor.

This is too funny that you are posting this vinegar! For the past month it has been my new obsession!!

I actually use their roasted garlic flavor, the unseasoned and I recently bought the citrus flavored one (or orange or something can't remember), but I have 3 of them in my pantry right now.

I adore them because for Weight Watchers, depending on which one you choose to use, it is super low in points or ZERO points!!

Believe it or not, I use the roasted garlic straight on field greens (in other words, on my salad). It adds a light, wonderful and low fat/calories/points component to my salads. That is my favorite way to use them so far.

I would LOVE to win this and would love to try the red pepper one you mentioned above. YUM!

(This time I used my main email account because I check it more frequently!)

I love it in stir fries: chicken, pork or fish. It goes in when the dish is just about done. I never measure; just sprinkle it on and taste, sprinkle some more! It adds a tasty zing to just about any stir fry.

I use it to make Bo luc lac and other Thai dishes as well as dressings. It is also great for marinating meat.

I use it to make salad dressing & also sprinkle on top of my "stir fries" - sauted whatever is fresh from the garden this time of year

I use it to make various asian dises like stir frys. I also use it to make cucumber, tomato, and onion salad.

In the summer i love to use these on slaws and all the time in salad dressing. Yummy!

Rice vinegar and oil dressing for salad greens.

We buy lots of cucumbers in the summer. When they start to get weary I slice them and keep them in a container with Nakono rice vinegar. They are then great for salads and just eating. I also do a lot of Asian cooking - it is a staple in my pantry. Best is storing leftover slices of fresh ginger for future use in cooking.

I use rice vinegar in cole slaw, salad dressings. Looking forward to using it like other readers have mentioned!

I love rice vinegar, and not just in Asian dishes. I use it to punch up the flavours in soups, stews, braises, or just as the vinegar of choice for salads or homemade mayo. I know people say to use lemon juice or red wine vinegar, but I love the taste rice vinegar imparts. I also use it in homemade mint sauce a la Jamie Oliver. So many great uses, so short a lifetime to try them all ^_^

Open a can of the best white tuna. Sprinkle in Nokano, pepper, crazy Jane salt and add a bit of mayo and sour cream.

Grate some cabbage and add Nokano and a bit of sugar. Delicious side dish

I enjoy using the Nakano rice vinegar in a light salad of very thinly sliced onions and cucumbers and a drop of water. I also use it on freshly steamed veggies.

I use vinegar with sautéed broccoli slaw.

I use Nakano for salad dressings and to brighten up soups.

I love using it to make cucumber and onion salad. It is also really good with fish!

Love vinegar with my fresh veggies, and have started to make an asian flair veggie slaw,and a cooked meal too with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and a touch of oyster sauce, hot or cold with or without meat, delish!

I use rice vinegar to make sushi rice salad

I use Nakano rice vinegar when stir frying squash. I put the cut up squash in a zip loc bag with the vinegar. Place in a heated skillit and fry until al Dante. Yum!

I love to use it with soy sauce to marinate tofu!

Great, light taste when splashed on thinly sliced raw cucumbers!

I looooove rice vinegar - I use it primarily as a part of the sauce I make for my spiralized veggie/rice paper wraps, with peanut butter, sesame oil, and some other secret ingredients. Yum!

i use rice vinegar with light mayo to make slaw dressing

Not familiar with Rice vinegar, so would like to try it out!

In a cucumber salad.

I use it on salads, on veggies, and in tuna salad. Basically anywhere you would use lemon or another acid.

I'm going to be honest - I've never tried rice wine vinegar! I was looking at how others use it, and I'm trying to eat healthier and lose weight, and it seems like I would like to try each of the flavors on simple fresh vegetables - I'm betting that's what I'm going to like best!

I would love to try Nakano rice vinegar. I am a cook who loves variety! & I am always trying new things.Would love to incorporate Nakano as a staple in my kitchen.

Thinly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and sweet onion splashed with Nakano Rice Vinegar. Let sit. Sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Plate and sprinkle with fresh Feta and serve with a piece of grilled chicken or fish + great summer lunch!

My two favorite uses are in cucumber salad and salad dressing with olive oil, salt and pepper. Mmm.

I use rice vinegar to replace vinegar in any recipe because it is tastes milder.

I've never used rice vinegar! I've seen it in many recipes and would like to try it....

I use Nakano Natural rice vinegar to make my own cole slaw. I tsp lemon juice, I TBS Nakano rice vinegar and I TBS mayo or mayo substitute plus some Stivia sweetner. Mix these ingredients and add to cole slaw mix.

I like to use rice vinegar when I make Japanese sticky rice. It adds a wonderful flavor to what otherwise would have been something really bland!

I used to sprinkle salt on fruit, but now I use rice wine vinegar...just a little is delicious on all kinds of fruit.

I like vinegar in a lot of my creative cooking. It revives veggies that have been getting a bit old and adds zingg to stock. Also I'm one of those odd people who likes it on her fries.

I recently made Korean beef tacos and used their white rice vinegar to make a delicious slaw as a topping for the tacos.

I use this daily the seasoned flavor for my homage salad dressing!! This is only dressing family will eat because I use seasoned rice vinegar by Nakano!! YUMMY

I slice cucumbers and onions, mix with vinegar and water, chill and eat. Delicious.

We use oil and vinegar on tuna instead of mayonnaise. Have never tried rice vinegar but always wondered how it tasted in comparison. I would love to try it!

I love rice vinegar in stir fries and homemade salad dressings!

Mango salsa!

I used the vinegar for both salad dressing and a key component for my stir fry vegetables. It adds a nice tang to them.

I hate to say it but I have never tried Rice Vinegar before. I need to win this to try it. LOL Also have never had a fish taco so I think I'd try that first!

0ur small town is a summer beach side destination. I always have a container of thinly sliced cucumbers, onion and dill marinating in one one of the Nakano vinegar's in my beach bag. Always a hit w/no leftovers.

I love it on sliced cucumbers this time of year!

I make a quick stir-fry with bok choy, garlic, a splash of rice vinegar, carrots, onion, and seasonings. So easy, yet so good!

I use it in my broccoli slaw salad. I'd love to find more ways to use it.

I am a rice vinegar virgin but am so excited to try all of the ideas above. Thank you Snack Girl and all of your readers!!

I like to cut up a cucumber and sprinkle it with seasoned rice vinegar. Easy and delicious!

I use rice vinegar to make sushi rice - I could never figure out why my sushi rice had no flavor, but that was it!!

Lower calorie & fat pasta salad! After draining the pasta & running under cool water, splash the pasta with seasoned rice vinegar. Add your veggies, and small bit of salad dressing. The last time I made pasta salad, I probably only used a 1/2 cup or less of dressing for 2 boxes of pasta (many people add a whole bottle) - the vinegar gives it enough flavor, without the calories or sogginess with dressing.

Wow, I am loving reading all these ideas! Great low cal recipe ideas!! And I love the ideas to use it instead of salt. Will def try this idea.

The usual way I use vinegars is in my salad dressings but we also like it on fish which the Brits do too on their fish n chips. My kids love it on fish!

I add it to sushi rice when I make nigiri or other pieces of Sushi. I just took some classes on it, so I'm still learning proper technique, but the rice vinegar is a delicious addition.

I like to use it on my salad. I usually have all sorts of things in my salad, really depending on what I want to use up. Sometimes coleslaw, egg whites, tofu, celery, mushrooms, avocado, cucumbers, okra. Like I said, whatever it is that I need to use up.

I like it with half & half, water & sweetener over cucumbers. Reminds me of my mom's recipe.

I use Nakano Rice Vinegar with fresh ginger as the core for my dressings and marinades. It's a fantastic combination of sweet and spicy and you can add different spices to that base to suit what you are eating. Sometimes it's an Asian spin by adding 5-spice powder, sometimes Mediterranean with turmeric. Always delicious!

Been using for years - as a WW find I can often just sprinkle iton salads witout using oil - but especially love it on Taco's andin coleslaws and as a condiment in many dishes

I like to shred cabbage, add sliced scallions, slivers of carrots and I make a vinaigrette with Nakano rice vinegar. I add one pkg of Splenda if I want it to have a sweet flavor.

My summer go to snack and side dish that is always ready in the fridge when I need something healthy - slice up a couple cucumbers and a sweet onion, put in a bowl and cover with rice vinegar of your choice.(I loved the seasoned) Simple! Snack, side dish... low cal, crunchy and ready to go!

Traditional lettuce salads, of course, but also with olive oil on room temperature salads using fresh vegetables with orzo or bulgur or red potato slices/cubes or jasmine rice or ditalini, etc. One other comment- grand prize from Nakano is valued at $9.50??? And there's only ONE winner nationwide? WOW!!

I use rice wine vinegar in salad dressings and in marinades for grilling or stir fries.

Yummy tacos! Nakano is great vinegar. First time I used it was making home made (scratch)collard greens. After that I was hooked on it and I use it now for a lot of marinades as well as dressings.

With the bounty from my garden I like to make a Niçoise salad. I throw in whatever is ripe so there's fresh tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, radishes and if course fresh lettuce. I top it off with a hard-boiled egg for protein you can even add an anchovy and some nice dark b I top it off with tuna ( no mayo)and a hard boiled egg for protein you can even add an anchovy and some nice black olives add your favorite seasonings and drizzle your Nakano rice vinegar and olive oil to enhance all of the fresh flavors!

Very timely article for me. I recently discovered that Rice Vinegar has lower acid level than others. A family member has very low tolerance of acid in their diet due to a medical condition called IC. They can tolerate some though so Rice Vinegar has real possibilities for them! Will make marinades, salad dressings...the possibilities are endless!

MMMMMMMMM on a tuna steak salad....Any of the above work but I prefer the seasoned...

Love this with black eye pea salad as well as with Cucumber, red onion, feta cheese and tomato salad!!!

I love to add different flavored vinegars to the stir frys I make with all of the lovely vegetables I have been getting from the CSA I belong to. Not only do they taste delicious but they are pretty with all the bright beautiful colors. The rice vinegar enhances the tastes!

One of my favorite salads is an asparagus-tomato-feta salad with a Nakano rice vinaigrette.

I love nanko rice vinegar for everything that needs a fresh , lively background for my other ingredients. I use it on roasted vegetables, as a marinade for meats, on my salads, on all my fish. sprinkled over chicken before baking with parmesan and lemon pepper - so wonderful!!

I use rice vinegar on cabbage to make slaw - add some sliced almonds and onion. YUM! And easy too!

I use rice vinegar instead of high calorie salad dressings. It just gives salads a nice fresh taste.

Rice vinegar' s good on home made fish n chips! Also when grilling salmon as the ginger-vinegar mix really adds needed flavor to the fish-really any kind of fish! Nakano rice vinegar added to some ginger paste for a sushi condiment is wonderful, not too spicy for me! Yummers!

I buy rice vinegar by the gallon from local asian stores. I use it all the time in salad dressings, marinades, cucumber salads, sushi or when I make flavored vinegars. It is mild so herbal flavors come through, like chive blossom (pink) and opal basil (bright red).

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Nakano seasoned rice vinegar, which I have to travel a distance to buy by the gallon! I haven't seen all the available favors in nearby stores and hope you'll select me to win & try them! 😇

As a Weight Watcher, Nakano rice vinegar has been integral to my weight loss journey of (so far) over 75 pounds. My favorite uses are to pickle freshly-cooked beets and to replace usual dressings in coleslaw and other salads.

I'm very excited that Snack Girl has promoted Nakano rice vinegars and am eagerly reading the many ways other readers use these products! 😃

I like the idea of using it as a salt replacement, I've been trying to cut back. I normally use vinegar in salads, but there are lots of great suggestions on here that I've never thought of!

Usually use rice wine vinegar on salad with a little olive oil or in my Chinese chicken salad.

I've been using Nakano Rice Vinegar for years. It is a staple at my house. For something different, try a little sprinkled on fruit! I just found a recipe using Nakano Citrus Rice Vinegar, so bought some of that to try, though the regular will always be my go-to low-calorie flavor addition to all kinds of dishes.

What great ideas!! I haven't really known how to use it other than when it is called for in some of the Asian recipes I've made. Thanks!

for making sushi rice!!

I slice cucumber and onion thinly and marinate in rice vinegar. Easy and low in points plus.

Nakano rice vinegar, a dash of sesame oil, and poured over steamed sweet (glutinous) rice is a wonderful dessert - or snack! Make balls of this and carry them anywhere.

I want to try Nakano Citrus Seasoned Rice Vinegar in several fish recipes that I haven't attempted yet.

I use it on asian salads and to perk up dressings.

I use it on fries and some salads.

I drain, on paper towels, then cube soft tofu and dress with Nakano rice vinegar, light soy sauce, a dash of toasted sesame oil, grated ginger then I garnish with slivered green onions and sesame seeds. A refreshing lunch and a surprising appetizer, especially for people who think they don't like tofu.

The Hubby uses rice vinegar in most of his meat marinades. He enjoys experimenting by adding herbs and some spices. It's always a crowd pleaser and no one can guess his secret ingredient.

I mostly use it for salad dressings, but my favorite is for a recipe that I have from a restaurant we liked back in Michigan. The River Crab made the best coleslaw and rice vinegar was in it.
