Rainbow Black Rice Salad
- 2.5 cups black rice
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1large mango
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 8-10 green onions
- 1/4 cup salted peanuts or cashews
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- Cook black rice as instructed on package, being careful not to overcook the rice as this salad tastes best when the rice is a bit al dente.
- While rice is cooking, dice bell peppers and green onions into small uniform pieces. Cube mango into small pieces, as well, and place all chopped produce into a bowl.
- Chop cilantro and add to the bowl of produce.
- Place rice into the refrigerator and allow to cool completely. Meanwhile, combine lime juice, oil, honey, vinegar, salt, and Srircha in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork or small whisk until emulsified.
- When rice is cool, fold in 3/4 of the chopped produced and mix it throughout the grains.
- Pour dressing over the top of the salad, add remaining 1/4 cup chopped produce on top, and garnish with crushed peanuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
