Greek Rice Salad

Recipe by Audrey Noland from allrecipes.com

1 Hr. 15 Mins.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
  • 1.5 cups diced English cucumbers
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.33333334326744 cup diced red onion
  • 0.25 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Bring brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, fluffing occasionally with a fork.
  • Toss avocado and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, cucumber, feta, onion, olives, mint, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl; lightly toss the mixture until evenly combined.
  • Fold cooled rice gently into the mixture. Serve immediately or chill up to 1 hour; the salad does not last well for more than a day as the tomato and cucumber begin to release their juices and the salad becomes watery.
