Spring Rice Salad

Today my son has a long day at University, which means I will have lunch by myself. Cooking for myself alone is not very tempting. This is why I decided to make a salad as a one dish meal. Like I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I believe salad is a very free plate, something you should have fun with. So, I decided to prepare a salad with rice to be consistent and light meal.

Simple and easy.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 tomato, cut in medium sized pieces
• 1 carrot grated
• 1 green pepper cut into thin strips
• 1/4 cup mix of olive oil and apple vinegar, a dash of hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper for the dressing salad
• 1 small onion sliced and separated into rings
• 1/2 teaspoon dried mint

Preparation:

• In a small saucepan, place the rice with water, salt, curry and vegetable oil and bring to boil
• Reduce the heat, stirring from time to time, cover and let it simmer until the rice is cooked
• Place rice in a plate and let it cool to room temperature
• Add tomato, carrot, green pepper
• Season with the dressing and garnish with onion and dried mint

ET VOILA..C’EST TOUT:)
