Ingredients

1 cup Texmati brown rice
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 cup Champagne or rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon good olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ripe tomatoes, large-diced
1 cup packed basil leaves (1 large bunch), chopped

Directions

Bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil and add the rice and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Return to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the rice to a bowl.

Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, olive oil, remaining teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Pour over the rice. Add the tomatoes and basil. Mix well and check the seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

I now LOVE brown rice!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a great healthy way to make brown rice delicious! I really enjoyed this. I made it w/balsamic b/c that is what I had... and omitted the basil since I was out but it was still sooo good. I will be making this often! Thanks!Read more

Great Lunch
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It makes a great lunch - warm or cold. I add a can of chick peas to this salad to increase the amount of protein.
