Description

This delicious salad calls for brown rice, but substituting it with quinoa or wild rice would be equally good and healthful.

Salad:
  • 1 cup prepared brown rice
  • 1 handful fresh baby spinach or chard
  • 6 cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 small broccoli floret (cut into bite sized pieces)
  • 3 radishes (sliced thin)
  • 1 cup green and red cabbage (sliced thin)
  • 1/2 cup sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons cashews
    • Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon agave
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
