Is anyone else as obsessed with Black Rice as I am" I have always been a fan of contrasting textures in food, and black rice has that firm pop – while the sweet potato, avocado and feta are creamy. This is a beautifully vibrant salad to serve on your Christmas table, I recommend decorating it with some pomegranate seeds so its extra festive. If you are after a Honey Mustard Dressing, you can just make the dressing component of the recipe too ? Love Nik xx
I absolutely adore the nutty texture of black rice in a salad. If you haven’t already tried my Poké Bowl from The Healthy Mix IV, you absolutely must try it asap.
There is something about the black rice & the Poké Bowl dressing that just goes perfectly with rich raw salmon.
