How to turn left over rice into a refreshing and nutritious salad

I recently had bunch of brown and wild rice with lentils in left over without any gravy in sight. This meant I needed to re-purpose it and so I decided on this yummy recipe which we also sometimes make with noodles. This recipe is quick and totally transforms the rice into a dish that no one is going to moan about. You can change the ingredients for those that you enjoy more but here is what I used.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of left over rice
• 1 cup of shredded cabbage
• 2 baby brinjals/ eggplant
• 1 tbs chopped peppadews
• cherry tomatoes
• 80g cheddar cheese
• 40g feta cheese
• 4 snacking peppers
• 1/2 shallot
  -3 red salad onions
  -200g strips of beef
  -200g diced bacon
  -1tbs of honey
• 200ml of mayonaise
  -50ml white wine vinegar or similar
  -1 tsp of mustard powder
• Olive oil to fry with
• Salt and Pepper to season with

Method

• Chop all of the ingredients to small pieces either blocks or slices

• Fry the brinjals and shallots until soft and tender

• Fry the meats together until cooked to your liking (remember to season them with salt and pepper)

• In a small bowl mix the mayonnaise, vinegar, honey and mustard power together well

• In a big bowl mix all of the ingredients together and then drench in the sauce before a final mixing

• Season to taste and serve :)

Serve as a side or a main- this is bound to please anyone! Its also really good to use up nay leftover you have in the fridge or lying around.

Hope you enjoy it!
