Ingredients

1 1/2 cups brown rice
4 zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 large red onion, cut crosswise into 3 thick slices
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup olive oil
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups mesquite wood chips, soaked in cold water 1 hour (optional)
2 cups fresh corn kernels
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

Add rice to large pot of boiling salted water. Cover partially and cook until just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain well. Transfer to large bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Place zucchini and onion slices in shallow dish. Mix 1/4 cup oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce in small bowl. Pour over vegetables. Let stand 30 minutes, turning once.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). When coals turn white, drain chips, if using, and scatter over coals. When chips begin to smoke, season onion and zucchini with salt and pepper and place on grill. Cover and cook until tender and brown, occasionally turning and basting with marinade, about 8 minutes. Transfer to platter. Cut onion slices into quarters. Cut zucchini crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Add onion and zucchini to rice. Mix in corn.
Whisk orange juice, lemon juice, 1/3 cup oil, 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl. Pour 1 cup dressing over salad and toss to coat. Stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Serve salad, passing remaining dressing separately.

A wonderful light summer salad of nutty brown rice, grilled vegetables and a light lemon dressing. Makes a great BBQ or potluck dish. I like to make a big bowl for lunches during the week. A great way to use up leftovers from dinner!

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups dry short grain brown rice
2 portabella mushroom caps
1 red onion, sliced thick
1 red bell pepper
1 zucchini, sliced thick
1 cup low-fat Italian salad dressing (optional)
1/2 cup chopped fresh herb (basil, parsley, thyme)
1 cup crumbled feta
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon honey
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

Prepare the rice according to directions. Set aside.
Grill the vegetables until done (I marinate them in lf italian dressing first).
In a large bowl, mix together the lemon juice, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil. Add warm rice and stir to combine.
Dice the grilled vegetables and add to rice after slightly cooled.
Stir in chopped herbs and top with the crumbled feta.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your salad more flavor and color. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
Grill the vegetables over high heat. This will help to caramelize them and give them a smoky flavor.
Make sure the vegetables are cooked through before adding them to the salad. You don't want them to be crunchy or raw.
Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing.
Serve the salad immediately. This is when the vegetables are at their best.

Conclusion:

This brown rice and grilled vegetable salad is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make.
