Let me start off today's recipe post by fully acknowledging that a Broccoli and Brown Rice Salad may be a step too far for some. Let's be honest- it completely conforms to the traditional vegan stereotype, which isn't something that I like to do because I'm all about challenging those views that this way of eating revolves around boring "rabbit food" (don't worry, there won't be a "How to Tie-Dye" post coming soon!). That said, Halo Eats does reflect the way that I eat and for that reason, I couldn't not share this recipe. I love this simple yet delicious dish, which is one I've been enjoying for years. It's a good way to use up leftover brown rice but as I enjoy this so much, I tend to increase the quantity of brown rice when cooking on curry night and then have this as a salad for lunch the following day. That said, it also works well warm. It's really all about the miso dressing, which really packs a flavour punch- I'm sure you'll find it as addictive as I do & return to this recipe time & time again.
