Method

  • Warm the SunRice Microwave Brown Rice and Quinoa sachet for 90 seconds in the microwave, following the packed directions. Transfer to a large bowl, fluff with a fork to separate the grains. Cool for 5 minutes.

  • While the rice is heating, place the seed mix into a small frypan over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.

  • Add the capsicum, cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, spinach and rocket mix and basil to the rice and quinoa. Season. Break the tuna into chunks, add to the salad and stir gently to combine.

  • Divide the salad into bowls. Sprinkle with the toasted seed mix, spoon over the dressing. Serve.

  • Tip You can buy green goddess dressing in the fridge section with the fresh produce at the supermarket. Alternatively use your favourite salad dressing.
