BROWN RICE & PESTO SALAD
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
- 400g Brown Rice (It can be the 90sec rice from Sunrice!)
- 2 large handfuls of spinach leaves
- 80g of Cranberries
- 2tbs of kale pesto (see recipe in previous posts)
METHOD
- Cool the rice and add it to a large mixing bowl
- Straight away add the pesto, spinach leaves and cranberries while it is still warm
- For meal prep I usually add chicken breast to it and have this salad cold, it is one of my favourite things to eat! No dressings needed or added avocado and for women fats can usually be our higher consuming macronutrient. So this is a great salad to keep the fat intake minimal.
