About

This quick and easy salad is dressed with an Asian inspired Chili-Sesame Vinaigrette. Serve alongside a protein food such as grilled or poached tempeh. The above photo shows a mix of wild rice and white basmati rice. If you prefer, you can use brown basmati rice instead of white which has more nutrients and fibre.

Serves 6 – 8.
