This recipe is a bit of a departure for me – I struggle with getting inspiration for salads as I am a big fan of being filled up! This salad is definitely one that will leave you satisfied though, and works well as a side or as a main with flatbreads.
Serves 4 as a main or 8 as a side
Ingredients
200g Basmati Rice
1/2 medium cucumber, finely diced
12 baby plum tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, very finely diced
100g Quorn pieces (or other soya or tofu chunks)
150g feta cheese, crumbled
Small handful each or fresh coriander and basil, roughly chopped
For the dressing
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp whole grain mustard
2 tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp caster sugar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Cook the rice in a large pan of boiling water for 12 minutes then rinse thoroughly and allow to cool.
2. Gently fry the Quorn pieces for 6 minutes in a little oil until light brown.
3. Place all of the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl and combine.
4. Place all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Season then stir gently through the cooked and cooled rice. Add the tomato mixture and Quorn pieces to the rice and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately.
