Method

  • Heat a medium fry pan to a med-high heat. Add 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil along with the asparagus. Cook for 4-5 mins. Slice the asparagus.

  • Cook the peas for 2-3 mins in boiling water (or simply place in a kettle with 1 cup of water and boil).

  • Heat rice in the microwave as per packet instructions.

  • Combine the oil, vinegar, honey with 1/2 tsp of salt to make the dressing. Add all the remaining ingredients to a large serving bowl and serve. Notes This recipe uses cooked microwavable SunRice Brown Rice and Quinoa. You can also buy the bag of raw SunRice Brown Rice and Quinoa and cook it yourself. Nut-free option: skip the almonds to make this recipe nut-free. __
