Rice Salad with Arugula
serves 8.
2 cups basmati rice
3 cups chicken broth
5 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 bunch arugula, chopped
1/2 cup pine nuts
3 green onions, sliced thin
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (optional)
Cook rice in broth, approximately 20 minutes. Fluff with fork and put in large bowl. Mix in oil and then add rest of ingredients. Serve at room temperature.
This recipe came from my favorite cookbook:
Sausalito ~ Cooking with a View
Favorite recipes from the Sausalito Woman's Club
The recipe from the book did not have chicken in it, but I add chicken (Jay always shreds it for me) and I serve generous portions, to make this the main entree. Everyone really loves this quick and easy to make dish. It usually surprises people, how good the flavors are together. Use a nice tasting olive oil. I always use more olive oil and more parmesan cheese than the recipe suggests.
Jess and Kate - this recipe is for you.
