Cleaning out the fridge today and I found a ton of brown rice from this weekend. I started tossing a bunch of other things in a bowl and it turned out to be a delicious, nutritious salad. It was also a great way to use up rice when you’ve cooked too much and don’t know what to do with it besides throwing it out.
