Golden Rice Salad

September 30, 2013 by Stacey 16 Comments

Golden-rice-salad

This golden rice salad is a nice change from my usual bowl of brown rice, and is rather sunshiny now that it’s getting warmer again. The yellow is from turmeric, which is amazingly good for you, but doesn’t impart much of a flavour. Never fear, everything else makes up for it!

It is a sweet, lemony, crunchy bowl of happy goodness.

(I’ve also made this with haloumi – you know that rocked my world!)

Description

Everyone needs a good rice salad recipe in their repertoire – why not make this sunny golden one?

      I’ve had to be proactive otherwise I just eat toast all day and then am a cranky, horrible, hungry person. It sucks balls. Thank you SO MUCH for your recipe! I’m so excited right now.

    I don’t use brown rice all the time and generally only use for very specific things. Rice salad is one of them and makes the humble rice salad into a real meal deal. This looks fab.

      Thanks! I use it quite often, but I used to hate it. Still prefer white for some things, but I’m stoked I’ve gotten to quite like brown now 🙂

      The printable recipe plugin is borked, so I just wrote what I did in the body of the post – I hope that’s OK! I’m not very good with measurements.

    Gosh, that looks lovely. I’ve only just started convincing my kids to eat brown rice. This could be a winner.
