I use to make a conscious effort to add whole grain in my diet as much as possible. They are packed with fiber, good carbohydrate and antioxidants. It is a wonderful idea to use them in salad and enjoy a wholesome meal with a variety of nutrition. Brown rice is a wonderful grain; here I am going to use them in my apple and walnut salad. This is a complete meal for me loaded with essential fatty acids, apple nutrition and good carbs. It’s a bulking meal to satisfy the tummy and easy enough to make frequently. For this recipe you can even use any leftover brown rice lay in your fridge.
