Citrus Salads
Adding a touch of citrus like orange or lemon to a rice or pasta salad is a wonderful way to brighten up the flavor by balancing things out with acidity. The sweet raisins, citrus orange, neutral grain, walnuts and minty herbs make for flavor in each bite. For even more savory taste in your meal, try cooking your rice or pasta in broth. Use it in this recipe, other easy pearl couscous recipes or a lemon orzo salad.
There are also other substitutions possible like using dates in place of raisins or almonds instead of walnuts. Creamy avocado or cheeses like goats cheese, brie or mozzarella might add an interesting texture. Get creative to make an unforgettable meal with all kinds of RiceSelect® grains and pasta.
