Ingredients
2 cups cooked brown rice8 oz. cooked edamame, out of the shell6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled10 kalamata olives (pitted), halved1/4 cup unsweetened dried cranberries1/4 cup lemon juice2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oilDash of salt/pepperDash of red pepper flakes2 tbsp. minced fresh cilantro
Using already cooked frozen brown rice (or you can cook your own), take 2 cups and thaw in the microwave. Add to a large bowl. Cook or thaw edamame according to package directions (mine called for boiling in salted water for 2 minutes until done, but I steamed them with some water in the microwave instead). Add cooked edamame to bowl with rice. Add feta cheese, dried cranberries, and halved kalamata olives to the bowl. In a separate smaller bowl, add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and whisk together. Pour dressing over rice mixture and mix well. Sprinkle in cilantro and reserve some for the top.
