Jump to Recipe

Have you ever heard of forbidden or black rice? Well, I have learned that black rice was forbidden an ancient China and only cultivated for royalty. Thank God, we can now eat this rice around the world! This rice is rich in fiber, vitamins and has a nutty taste to it that goes very well with any type of vinaigrette.

I added sweet potatoes, tomatoes and avocado to bring more texture to the salad. It’s a healthy lunch recipe that can be made all seasons with fruits, proteins and vegetables.
