Brown Rice Salad with Arugula and Feta

Brown rice is lower on the glycemic index than white rice and contains more fibre, meaning it makes you feel full longer. Try this salad for your packed lunches.

Chef's Tips

Cooking rice in an open pan of boiling water cooks it faster than the more-familiar closed-pot steaming method, a real advantage when cooking brown or wild rices that take longer to cook than white rice.

Serve garnished with toasted walnuts, if desired.
