Ingredients
-
1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice
-
2 ½ cups water
-
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
-
¼ cup lemon juice
-
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
-
1 ½ cups diced English cucumbers
-
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
-
⅓ cup diced red onion
-
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
-
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
½ teaspoon minced garlic
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Bring brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, fluffing occasionally with a fork.
-
Toss avocado and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, cucumber, feta, onion, olives, mint, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl; lightly toss the mixture until evenly combined.
-
Fold cooled rice gently into the mixture. Serve immediately or chill up to 1 hour; the salad does not last well for more than a day as the tomato and cucumber begin to release their juices and the salad becomes watery.
