Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tender grilled chicken.
- Cook the rice perfectly: Brown rice can be tricky to cook, but it's worth the effort to get it right. Rinse the rice well before cooking, and use a ratio of 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fluffy.
- Grill the chicken evenly: To get perfectly grilled chicken, make sure your grill is hot before you start cooking. Brush the chicken with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Assemble the salad just before serving: This will prevent the rice from getting soggy. Add the grilled chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Conclusion:
This brown rice salad with grilled chicken is a healthy, flavorful, and satisfying meal. It's perfect for a summer picnic or potluck, or for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. With its combination of protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
