rice salad
Friday, March 22, 2013
This has been on heavy rotation around here. I have been making a big batch which is perfect for lunches or a beach day.
salad ingredients:
3 cups cooked brown rice, cooled {love using the cooked, frozen brown rice medley at TJ's if I'm in a rush}
1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
10 cherry tomatos, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped {I like jarred roasted red peppers too}
1/2 cup kalamata olives, chopped
1/2 cup english peas
1/2 cup basil, chopped
1/2 cup parsley,chopped
1/2 cup roasted and chopped almonds
dressing ingredients:
1/4 cup grape seed oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 minced garlic clove
lemon juice from 1 lemon
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbs honey
salt & pepper
Mix together all the salad ingredients in a big bowl. I like putting all the dressing ingredients in a Mason Jar and then giving it a good shake with the lid on. Once the dressing is mixed up add it to the salad & enjoy.
