Thai Brown Rice Salad
We are getting to the middle of Summer, and all of it’s heat. When it’s hot outside, I don’t like to eat really heavy, so I am all about finding and creating new and tasty salads. After some thought and collaborating, I came up with this Thai Brown Rice Salad, which is heavenly! I was recently sent several varieties of Hinode Rice products, and I really wanted to use the Calrose Brown Rice in a summer-y salad. I went back and forth with some different ingredients and knew that I wanted something really colorful, for Summer. I finally decided on something that would come across as a Thai tasting dish. The peanuts, pineapple and ginger tasting teriyaki sauce really do that for this salad. It is simple to make and would be great to serve at any upcoming 4th of July barbecues that you might have.
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup pineapple tidbits
- 2 Tbs sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup unsalted peanuts
- ½ cup edamame
- 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 4 Tbs Tavern on the Green Golden Ginger Teriyaki Sauce (If you can't find this brand, then try any teriyaki sauce and grate in a little fresh ginger)
- 2 Tbs lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- In a large bowl, add the rice, onions, pepper, pineapple, sunflower seeds, peanuts and edamame.
- In another bowl, or cup with a tight fighting lid, combine the olive oil, teriyaki sauce, lemon juice and garlic. Mix or shake well.
- Pour the sauce over the the salad and combine.
- Serve warm or cold, but I prefer it cold.
Hinode provided me with some product and compensation to compile the recipe and post. All opinions expressed are my own.
I love brown rice in salads and stir fry!

That looks really good, I would have never thought to toss in pineapple.
My fave way to eat rice is I mix brown rice with whatever fresh or frozen veggies I have and then put a little sweet teriyaki sauce on it and mix it all up!
I love it as a stir fry!
I like steamed rice with stir fry veggies.

I love all forms of rice. The hubby and I made the best homemade fried rice. I use Jasmine Rice with a lot of my dinners, and brown rice is a very yummy alternative as well. The little microwaveable, one-serving Minute Rices are also very good with tuna or chicken in the can.
I love brown rice mixed with lentils and cooked in chicken broth! YUM!
in my chicken & rice casserole
my husband loves rice pudding and I make it at least once a week, many different ways.
I love rice any way you can make it! I love it plain steamed, fried rice, rice balls, rice pudding, you name it! But just plain steamed rice is my favorite, especially if it is Hinode!!

I simply love rice: in salads, plain, steamed, with tomato gravy, pudding, you name it. My very favorite is probably a seafood salad…
I love brown & wild rice with just a bit of salt
My favorite way to eat rice is in sushi
My favorite way to eat rice is to prepare it like sushi rice and add some ponzu sauce and sesame seeds (and if there is sushi attached to the rice well, I think that’s the best 🙂 )
I love white rice served with pepper steak! I usually cut the steak into thin strips and cook it in a small amount of oil. I add sliced onions while I cook the steak, and gradually add in green bell pepper strips and finally tomatoes cut into strips. I then add my beef broth, cook until bubbly, and then stir in a little cold water with cornstarch, and continue cooking until it thickens. I serve this over the prepared rice, and YUMMY!!
I love it when used to make fried rice !!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. My husband loves Thai food. Thanks for the giveaway!
