Brown Rice Salad
Don’t be fooled by the name – it tastes amazing! It’s my usual “go-to” dish for BBQs – and I always get heaps of compliments on it. In fact Mr 24 loves it so much he insists I make it just for us occasionally, instead of always taking it to share with others! It’s a simple recipe, the main thing is to remember to allow at least half an hour for the rice to cook.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups brown rice, cooked
1/4 cup chopped spring onion, with 1T separated
1 red capsicum, diced finely
1 cup currants
1 cup roasted cashews (or pecans), chopped
1 cup roasted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup ABC Kecap Manis sweet soy sauce (the only brand I like with this recipe)
1. Toast the seeds & nuts
2. Combine all ingredients – keeping back 1 Tab spring onion – and mix well.
3. Garnish with remaining spring onions, refrigerate until ready to serve.
NB This dish tastes even better the next day, it’s like the flavour has had time to develop.
