This rice salad has it all in the flavor and texture department. I love the nuttiness of the rice blend paired with the peppery arugula, tart apricots and sweet curry vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the rice, vegetable stock and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Stir in the apricots and shallot during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  2. Spread the rice in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  3. Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, curry powder, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until combined.
  4. Transfer the cooled rice to a serving bowl. Add the desired amount of the vinaigrette, then the arugula, pine nuts and mint, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
