Brown Rice Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

  • 1 brown onion, finely diced

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • 1 tsp black garlic essence

  • 2 capsicums, diced (different colours is nice)

  • 4 spring onions, chopped

  • 1 cup of seeds, nuts & fruit of any kind – try sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and sultanas. But you can add whatever you have. Dried cranberries, cashews and sliced almonds are good too.  

blank

  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 tsp lemon rind, zested

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp black garlic essence

  • 1 tsp of honey or sugar

Directions

  1. Mix the rice, onion, soy sauce and 1 tsp of Black Garlic Essence together. Place in a bowl, cover and leave in the fridge overnight. Or if you are in a real rush, about 3 hours works.

  2. Next day, add the remaining ingredients (not the salad dressing ingredients). When capsicums aren’t in season, use what you have – corn, edamame beans, green beans, tomatoes – all are good.

  3. Mix the salad dressing ingredients together and then stir through the brown rice salad.
