Categories     Salad     Rice     Tomato     Spinach     Brown Rice     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup brown rice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
2 cups baby spinach
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in brown rice and 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Cover and simmer over low heat until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, dill, garlic, and sugar. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add rice, cucumber, spinach, and tomatoes, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
  • Buying and storing rice
  • Look for brown rice in packages or in the bulk section of the supermarket, alongside white rice. It is more perishable than white rice but will keep for up to 6 months if stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze in a resealable plastic bag for up to 1 year.
