Brown Rice Lentil Salad
"My family isn't always crazy about trying new recipes," DeAnn Howard writes from Lisbon, Iowa. "The first time I served this salad, they took tiny helpings just to appease me. But the unanimous verdict was 'It tastes great!'"
7 Servings
Prep: 10 min. Cook: 45 min. + chilling
Ingredients
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup water
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 cup cooked lentils
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

In a large bowl, combine the rice, lentils, tomato, onions and
