THE RECIPES
Black Rice Salad with Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette by @feedtheswimmers

If you can't get your hands on black rice, any variety would work here. This dish comes together super quickly so we're assigning a little homework! While the vegetables roast, make pumpkin puree so you can use it all week long. Follow the recipe linked above and store it in the fridge or freezer to use throughout the week.

Feedfeed Tip To get fluffy rice, be sure to rinse the uncooked rice in water until it runs clear to ensure the grains do not stick together once cooked.
