As noted in my Sumo Salad post I really wanted to try the Brown Rice Salad recipe on page 75 of Susie Burrell’s new book, ‘Losing the last 5kg’ so I made it for lunch on Saturday.

The salad is very easy to make, very filling and tastes really good. It takes a little while to prepare as you have to roast the pumpkin and cook the brown rice so I made enough for a couple of lunches this week.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1/2-3/4 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup roasted diced pumpkin
  • 1 small red capsicum, finely chopped
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 50g Danish fetta, crumbled

Dressing

  • 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix together the rice, vegetables, walnuts and feta
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve

Do you take your lunch to work or eat out?
