I love having a variety of hassle-free, tasty meal options on hand that I can put together in a pinch. This brown rice salad is a great example: it's easy to prepare and it can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. In fact, it gets more delicious as the days pass. You can use leftover rice or a package of instant, microwavable rice to save even more time. To complete the meal, I heated up a can of Progresso™ Clam Chowder for the perfect combination of soup with salad! Especially on these chilly winter days. Buen provecho!
