Spring Rice Salad

Brenda Villagomez
This spring rice salad is a different way to enjoy this healthy grain, as it is complemented with fruits, seeds, and vegetables that enrich its nutritional value, then it is dressed with a vinaigrette to integrate everything and give it an extra touch of flavor. It is ideal for taking to work or school.

  • Add the rice and water to a pot, heat until boiling, add salt, lower the temperature and cover. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the water has almost completely evaporated. Remove from heat and cool the rice.
  • While the rice cools, prepare the vinaigrette. Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, grated ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Then add the olive oil in a thin stream while whisking, to form an emulsion. Set aside.
  • Once the rice is cold, add the green beans, carrot, yellow corn kernels, blueberries, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, pour just a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette to taste. Mix carefully.
  • Serve the salad in a bowl and accompany with caramelized sesame.
