Brown Rice Salad

I am attending a housewarming bbq and what I usually do is make a dish to bring then leave the serving plate there as a gift.

Today, I have decided to make some brown rice salad. It is something simple, healthy, flavoursome and delicious.

So here is what I did:

1. Cook or heat up brown rice. I need two cups of cooked rice.

2. Mix half a teaspoon of chopped garlic, a teaspoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of mirin or rice wine vinegar or just vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar (optional) and a tablespoon of olive oil and leave for ingredients to fuse together

3. Chop up a medium sized, red capsicum and three shallots or spring onions

4. In a large bowl, place brown rice, a cup of sultanas or raisins, half a cup of pepitas or sunflower seeds, capsicum, spring onions, dressing and mix well.

5. Serve in platter or bowl.

The combination of colours and flavours are just amazing. Nuts can be added or chicken but I prefer this dish to be meat-free. I hope you like it too. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram @heelsandspice for more ideas and updates. Enjoy!
