Recipe: Pumpkin, Bean & Rice Salad

After playing around with black rice after first buying it (like with this salad!) it had snuck its way to the back of my pantry and I promptly forgot about it (which possibly says a lot about the state of my pantry!) until I was looking for something to make a side dish with and stumbled across it again! Of course, you could make this salad with brown rice if you’d prefer, but there’s something about the colour and slightly nutty flavour that I really like about black rice, so if you can get your hands on it I highly recommend giving it a try!

Recipe: Rice Salad with Lemony Avocado

The beauty of this salad is in its simplicity, it really is just a huge variety of fresh veggies tossed through some brown rice and all tied together with some lemony avocado. Easy – definitely. Tasty – you bet! It’s the kind of salad I feel healthier after eating, there’s something about eating the rainbow that just feels right! And when it’s delicious and easy to throw together all the better!

I first made a variation on this salad before Christmas, and when trying to decide what to make for lunch at work this week I thought I’d give this another go, with some changes like the addition of cranberries and pomegranate molasses. It worked out pretty well too – although it’s not the prettiest of salads to photograph, that’s for sure!

Recipe: Mexican Bean Salad

This recipe is a super quick and easy meal I like to make a big batch of to use for work lunches – it’s healthy, filling and full of veggies. You can pretty much use whatever veggies you have on hand, so I used what I had left from this fortnight’s veggie box delivery.
