My friend gave me this recipe. I love it! It makes a beautiful, healthy, quick, tasty dish.
Ingredients:
3 cups prepared brown rice
3 medium carrots, finely chopped or grated
2 cups cooked black beans, drained
1 cup cooked corn
1/2-1 cup minced fresh herbs packed (cilantro, parsley, dill, or basil)
1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped **I used dehydrated ones and soaked them**
3-4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2-3 Tbsp. fresh or frozen lemon juice or wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
**I also added lime juice to taste**
Direction:
Mix all ingredients together and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or thoroughly chilled.
I made this for Jay's lunch today and he had a great idea to put this mixture into a tortilla. Since we were short on tortillas he actually used it as a dip for his 'hint of lime tortilla chips'! It was delicious!
