Ingredients
Method
- Start by rinsing your rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups (480ml) of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and fully cooked.
- While the rice is cooking, take a large mixing bowl. Throw in the pineapple chunks, sliced strawberries, blueberries, chopped mango, and kiwi.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, and salt to make a light dressing.
- Once the rice is cooked, let it cool for a bit.
- Mix the cooled rice with the fruit mixture.
- Pour the dressing over the Fruity rice salad and toss everything together gently.
- Finally, sprinkle the chopped mint leaves on top for an added layer of freshness.
Notes
1. You can use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier alternative.
2. Always let the rice cool before adding it to the fruits to prevent them from becoming mushy.
3. If you’re not a fan of any particular fruit, feel free to substitute with your favorite ones.
