Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice (I used basmati rice)
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios, lightly chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 tsp. chopped fresh dill

Dressing

Instructions

  • Add all dressing ingredients together into a small well sealing container (mason jars work well) and shake vigorously to emulsify. Set dressing aside and let sit
  • Stir rice, pistachios, and feta together in a medium bowl.
  • Shake dressing one more time and then pour over rice mixture and toss with a spoon. Serve right away.

Notes

  • Can be eaten warm or cold.
  • Keeps in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. If rice becomes too dry, add a small amount of oil and toss before eating. 
  • Pairs well with fish or any dishes seasoned with dill.
