Brown Rice Salad

Rice is often used in a salad but can be a bit bland. Brown rice adds an extra little nutty flavor as well as a slightly more substantial texture.

For this dish –and to serve 8 – you need:

Apple vinaigrette:

Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a screw-top jar, shake well to combine and store in the fridge for 24 hours before using. Give it a shake each time you open the fridge door. Get everyone else in the house to do the same. It’s a great way to make a dressing. Remove the garlic before using.

*To bruise the garlic: put it on a flat surface, place the flat of a knife on it and thump the blade with the side of your fist. Any peel will fall away and your clove will be oozing juice. Great.
