  • 5

Ingredients

  • Salad:
  • 4-5 big bunches of baby spinach chopped (you can do kale as well)
  • 1 1/2 cups wild rice (cooked)
  • 3 avocados sliced
  • 2 cups or 1 can white beans (soak overnight and then cook until soft)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced or 2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • Dressing:
  • 6 T toasted sesame oil
  • 3 T rice vinegar
  • 3 T soy sauce or bragg’s aminos
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Preparation

Step 1


Cook the rice and let cool. I actually did this the day before. Same with the beans if using dried beans. In a large bowl, add rice, beans, avocado, garlic and spinach and mix well. In a small bowl, whisk the ingredients for the dressing. Pour dressing in the large bowl and mix well until everything is combined. I found the best way to do this was with my hands. This dish is best eaten fresh, but will still be delicious the next day. I makes about 5-6 servings. Enjoy!
