Brown Rice Salad With Peppers and Zucchini

"This is tangy and vegetable-loaded salad that I put together out of the pantry and frige. I enjoyed it enough to post it so that I can remember it again later."

directions

  • Cook brown rice according to package directions (if you wish, add a 1/2 a vegetable cube in place of any salt listed in the cooking instructions) and set aside to cool.
  • Chop vegetables and cheese and toss with cooled, cooked rice. I use a mandoline slicer to get a variety of shapes and textures to my vegetables. Use whatever vegetables appeal to you.
  • In a small jar make vinaigrette by mixing the salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, garlic and oregano together and then adding the oil.
  • This will actually make more dressing than is needed for the salad, I think, but it is a solid vinaigrette that performs well on other salads.
  • Dress the salad to taste and serve immediately.
  • This salad can also enhanced by chicken, tuna or chopped egg.

  1. Made this except used pasta instead of rice (boiled the pasta and zucchini together). I also used 1/2 regular mustard and 1/2 stadium as I did not have dijon. This was raved about by all at a picnic this afternoon. Very yummy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Back in the US after 10 years abroad. Good to be home and have good access to more familiar ingredients, however, I also loved all that I learned in my beloved adoptive country of Macedonia. I also had the privilege of running an American style bakery during my last 3 years in Skopje. Baking is my addiction, but I do love all sorts of cooking. My husband recently ended his 15 year low-carb lifestyle, so we are both busy packing on the pounds and being able to eat forbidden foods together now! Love it (but not how snug my pants are!).
