Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 ½ cups water
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
¼ cup chopped red onion
¼ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup bite-size broccoli florets
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
¼ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped raw almonds
¼ teaspoon coarse black pepper
2 tablespoons fat free Italian-style dressing
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Place cooled rice in a large bowl. Stir in the kidney beans, red onions, mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, and almonds; season with pepper. Toss salad with the Italian dressing and olive oil.
  • Chill for at least one hour before serving.
