Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups brown and wild rice mix

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup orange juice

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Dressing:

  • ⅓ cup agave nectar

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Salad:

  • 1 ½ cups chopped kale leaves

  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • ½ cup toasted pine nuts

  • ¼ cup halved seedless red grapes

  • 2 tablespoons chopped celery

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste

  • 1 lemon, zested

Directions

  1. Bring brown and wild rice blend, water, orange juice, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain excess liquid, fluff rice with a fork, and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool, 20 to 30 minutes.

  2. Combine agave nectar, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl for the dressing.

  3. Add dressing, kale, bell pepper, pine nuts, grapes, celery, parsley, basil, and lemon zest to the cooled rice and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Cook's Note:

Substitute pecans or almonds for the pine nuts if preferred.
