Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Chill for at least one hour before serving.
