Tips:

  • Cook the brown rice ahead of time: This will save you time when assembling the salad. You can cook brown rice in a rice cooker, on the stovetop, or even in the microwave.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your salad. Some good choices include chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli.
  • Don't be afraid to add some protein: This will help to make the salad more filling and satisfying. Some good choices include grilled chicken, tofu, or beans.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: This will help to bring all of the flavors of the salad together. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own. Some good options include a vinaigrette, a lemon-tahini dressing, or a honey-mustard dressing.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help to make the flavors meld together and will also make the salad more refreshing.
