Brown Rice Arugula Salad

May 18, 2013

This is a great, light side dish to go with many things! Grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes, Moroccan dishes, the list goes on and on. You could even add grilled chicken to it and make it a meal! You can use any grain you have on hand. Brown Rice, couscous (which is actually a pasta but, I digress), farro, quinoa, etc. All would be good here!

2 c. instant brown rice, cooked according to package directions and cooled (could also use 1 c. couscous, farro or quinoa if desired)
1 t. salt
2 c. arugula
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 t. black pepper

Combine brown rice, salt, arugula, olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper in a large bowl and toss to combine.
