Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked brown rice

  • 2/3 cup finely minced red onion
  • 1 large diced red bell pepper (yellow or orange are nice, too)
  • 1 large diced green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or whole pine nuts I often use sunflower or pumpkin seeds
  • 2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
