Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups Chinese black rice
1 1/2 cups basil leaves, divided
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 ribs celery, diced
5 radishes, diced
1 cup chopped scallions (1 bunch)

Steps:

  • Cook rice in a large pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt for 4 quarts water), uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse with cold water.
  • Meanwhile, purée 1 cup basil leaves with oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender until emulsified. Tear remaining 1/2 cup basil leaves into a large bowl and stir together with dressing, rice, and remaining ingredients. Season to taste.

I added some grilled chicken to the salad for extra protein. It was a great addition.

The dressing is the perfect complement to the salad. It's tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy.
