How to Make Strawberry And Brown Rice Salad

  1. Rinse brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  2. Remove from heat and let the rice cool completely.
  3. While the rice cooks, toast the pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds in a dry medium skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, and black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Add the cooked brown rice, toasted nuts and seeds, green onions, and chopped basil to the bowl with the strawberries. Stir in the chopped apricots and the remaining dressing, gently tossing to combine.
  7. Serve the salad immediately or chill for later. Serve on a bed of lettuce and garnish with extra strawberries and basil leaves, if desired.
