A quick and filling salad recipe, perfect to bring along to a BBQ or Family Gathering.

Dressing
 ¼ cup Rice Bran Oil
 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
 1 Garlic Clove
 ¼ tsp Salt
 ¼ tsp Pepper
Salad
 1 cup Brown Rice
 1 Green Capsicum
 1 Red Capsicum
 6 Spring Onions
 ⅓ cup Sultanas
 ½ cup Cashews
 2 tbsp Sunflower Seeds
 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Cook the Brown Rice
1

In a medium sized saucepan combine 2 cups room temperature water with 1 cup raw brown rice. Bring to the boil over a medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer and put the lid on.

2

Watch carefully that it doesn’t boil over - it should take about half an hour to absorb all the liquid. Once this has occurred, remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool (at least 15 mins with the lid still on)

Prepare the Salad
3

Toast the Cashews and Sunflower Seeds in a pan until golden, set aside to cool.

4

In a mixing shaker, combine the Dressing ingredients. Shake and set aside.

5

Finely dice the capsicums, slice the spring onions and chop the parsley. Place ingredients into into a large Salad Bowl.

6

Add sultanas, rice & the dressing that was set aside in step 3 to Salad Bowl and stir to combine.

7

Just before serving, top with the toasted nuts from step 2 and mix again to combine.
