Steps:
- Make the salad: Place basmati rice, wild rice and water in a pressure cooker. Cover loosely and bring to a boil. Add salt, seal cover, and bring to high pressure. Reduce heat to low, place pot on a flame deflector, and cook for 25 minutes. Turn off heat and leave pot undsiturbed for another 25 minutes so rice can finish cooking in the steam (I just skipped all of this and used my rice steamer).
- Transfer rice to a serving bowl. Stir in dried fruit, nuts and vegetables until well combined. Set aside.
- Make the dressing: Combine soy sauce and oil in a saucepan. Warm over low heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl with remaining ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
- Fold dressing into rice salad and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.
Tips:
- Use a variety of grains. This salad uses brown and wild rice, but you can use any type of grain you like, such as quinoa, barley, or farro.
- Cook the grains ahead of time. This will save you time when you're assembling the salad. You can cook the grains in a rice cooker, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
- Chop the vegetables into small pieces. This will help them to cook evenly and will make the salad easier to eat.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the salad.
- Serve the salad warm or cold. It's delicious either way!
Conclusion:
This brown and wild rice salad is a healthy and delicious side dish or main course. It's packed with nutrients and is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The salad is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your liking. Try adding different vegetables, fruits, or nuts. You can also change the dressing to suit your taste.
