Brown Rice Salad

Had a picnic on Sunday so I prepared some simple food that could be packed into lunchboxes and carried to the beach!  First up is my brown rice salad.

You’ll need:

• 1/2 cup brown rice
• half a tomato, diced
• 1 cup shredded roast chicken
• 2-3 tablespoon pesto sauce
• 1 roasted red pepper, diced
• salt & pepper

Cook the rice as per normal and when done, toss in all the other ingredients and you’re done!

This recipe serves 2-3 people, depending on what other foods you have.  Total cook time = 20 min and this is mainly due to the rice.

So here I am, sitting back with this view and eating my Brown Rice Salad and Potato Salad, all washed down with a bottle of white wine. Ahh…this is the life.
