  • Sprouted Rice and Beet Salad

    1 vote
    Few people would ever think of rice as a salad. It is usually consumed as a staple along with other dishes like meat, seafood or vegetables. Recently, I have been enjoying a new-found favorite -- sprouted rice. It has the nutty texture of whole grain or wild rice. So I thought of preparing dish using sprouted rice, but we're in the middle of summer and I knew I had to come up with some kind of salad. But with rice? Well, it turned out to be delightful combined with red beets, green peas, and other healthy ingredients. At first I didn't know what to call it, but what's in a name when what you have in front of you is a healthy, refreshing salad that's just perfect on a warm day. I served it warm, but I am absolutely sure that this salad will be as great after being chilled in the refrigerator.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups sprouted rice (or a mixture of white and sprouted rice)
    • 1 cup coconut milk
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 cup red beets, julienned
    • 2/3 cup green peas, slightly boiled

    • 1 boiled egg, sliced
    • 1/3 cup goat cheese
    • Honey mustard salad dressing
    • 1/3 cup steamed bokchoy, thinly cut into ribbons
