- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Salad -Wild RiceSun Dried Tomatoes (soaked)Dried Apricots Cucumber Yellow Pepper Red Chili Pepper Grated rind of orange and lemonFor the dressing -1/2 - 1 tbsp olive oilorange juice (from the orange)lemon juice (from the lemon)garlic (crushed)salt & pepper to tasteIceberg lettuce leaf to serve
The quantities are not exact and you may wish to adjust them to taste (particularly the dressing).
(1) Cook the rice according to packet instructions, then place in a large dish.
(2) While you're waiting for the rice, chop all the other ingredients into really, really small pieces.
(3) Mix the rice and other ingredients together in the dish.
(4) Make the dressing by adding the olive oil to the orange and lemon juice, then stir in the garlice and the salt and pepper.
(5) Pour the dressing over the rice salad and cover the dish (you do this to stop the salad stinking out your fridge!)
(6) Put the salad in the fridge until you're ready for it (I'd leave it at least a couple of hours to let the chili and garlic do their stuff).
(7) In individual dishes, place a large lettuce leaf on the plate and then spoon the salad into it.
Hope you enjoy it!
