This brown rice salad is one of my favourites it is super delicious, pretty healthy and best of all it is best made the day before you need it.
The flavour intensifies overnight so its a great dish to make ahead of time saving you time on the day or its a great salad to make for the lunchboxes it will keep about 3 days in the fridge.
