My fav xmas dish

Hey guys!

As the silly season is fast approaching, along with warmer weather, sunshine and good times, I thought it would be a great time to share one of my favourite recipes for entertaining with you all – Brown Rice Salad! This recipe is my go-to for any kind of situation where I’m required to make a plate of food– it is vegan, healthy and nutritious, but still packs a punch of flavour! It’s also super easy and quick to make (I almost ALWAYS leave these sorts of things to the last minute!) and you’ll probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry or fridge already. Think taking this along to a barbecue on a warm summers night, or serving it up for your friends at a potluck dinner – I promise you, even the biggest meat-eater will be impressed with this one!

Happy cooking everyone!
