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!)

Yum…you are killing me with these lunches…I have been so lazy in the cooking department lately that lunch is generally some tuna!
Anyway, the link doesn’t seem to be up yet but I have a special post just for you! Enjoy!

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 love halloumi so very much. Best cheese ever.
Is there anything it can’t do?!
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 🙂
Where is the actual recipe? Im a noodle and cant find it…..
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.
Haloumi is the shit. Makes everything better!
You’re damn right!
Looks lovely Stacey,going on my list on must makes,thankyou:)
Mwah!
I love a brown rice salad, add haloumi and its a definite winner! This looks delish!
I used to be legit terrified of them. I think I’m growing up!
Gosh, that looks lovely. I’ve only just started convincing my kids to eat brown rice. This could be a winner.
They won’t even know it is brown!
