A perfect combination of ingredients!

For the base I used brown rice – firstly, it is a source of complex carbohydrates that will keep you full without a feeling of heaviness. Secondly, brown rice is also an excellent source of fibre, which is great for your digestion. I added fresh tomatoes and sweetcorn for a little sweetness, cucumbers for that refreshing juiciness, and the olives brought a deep umami flavour to the salad.

To top it off, I made a salad dressing that nicely rounds all the flavours together. The main ingredient? Cashew spread!

Once I combined all the ingredients, I ended up with a salad that had just the right balance between juicy and creamy. Perfectly balanced, tasty and nutritious.

Tasty and nutritious

To sum up and return to the salad. This cold rice salad is a great choice for anyone who wants a balanced meal. Every ingredient in it brings its share of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. On top of that, it is really simple and quick to make, which is especially handy when we want to prepare something tasty at the last minute.
