Parsley Pistachio Rice Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add the rice and 2 tablespoons salt. Boil rice as you would pasta, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until done, but still al dente. Drain and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
• Once cool, transfer rice to a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, tahini, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold mixture into rice.
• Add currants, almonds, pistachios, chives, mint, savory and parsley. Toss to distribute. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice or salt as necessary. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Steam broccoli in a pot of simmering water fitted with a steamer basket until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove broccoli and drain; let cool 20 minutes. Finely chop broccoli to create a rice-like texture and add to a large bowl.
• Add parsley, cilantro, apple and/or pomegranate arils, lemon juice and zest, and oil to bowl with broccoli and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with pistachios and sumac before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until rice has absorbed all of the water, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the rice, and stir in the parsley, mint, tomatoes, bell pepper, pistachios and olives.
