Ingredients
Salad Base
- 2 cups cooked mixed brown rice and quinoa
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped (store-bought rotisserie chicken works like a charm)
- 2 cups tomatoes, chopped
Creamy Basil Dressing
- 1/2 cup walnuts (can sub almonds)
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup basil
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- juice of two lemons
- 1 teaspoon salt
Steps
- Toss the brown rice / quinoa, chicken, and tomatoes together.
