I must try making this with 50% quinoa  rather than all brown rice for a change! and let's hope DH doesn't notice as this is his one and only salad that he will eat  ;D

I did get to taste this after I gave it to DD - she saved some for me and it is delicious as everyone has said.  If you don't believe us by now, you never will  :D

I think this would also be nice with some chick peas added.

Have made this salad twice over the Christmas season and we all love it - so versatile and lends itself to other veggies lurking in the fridge  :o It really is a lovely dish!!

Finally made this after having it bookmarked for 2 months. Big hit at our place.  Wasn't sure if the one cup of rice would be enough for us (4 adults,  1 child), so made another salad to complement. I will definitely make this again & if entertaining, probably make double so there's extras! :)

Made this today for our dinner. Very nice I used roasted capsicum and added the sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Put one teaspoon of brown sugar in the sauce and used lime juice instead of lemon. Yum.

Made this yesterday ahead of a scorching weekend. Used pearl barley (really low GI)  cooked 35 mins varoma,  speed 3 instead of rice and added craisins, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, barberries, red onion, red capsicum, and the usual dressing. Nice texture and still yummy the next day. Would certainly make this again.

Just a quick question to those members who have made this did you use Brown Basmati Rice or Long Grain Brown Rice? ;D

I use a brown medium grain rice CC. I think that's what basmati is, but I'm sure either would work.

Every one enjoyed this when I took it to a car club working group yesterday. One person said they thought it had popped corn in it  :-\ but they loved it.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Bumping this recipe again, we love it and it's so quick and easy to make.
