Method
Step 1
Cook U.S.-grown long grain brown rice according to package instructions.
Step 2
While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables. Drain and rinse chickpeas and artichoke hearts. Cut artichoke hearts in half lengthwise.
Step 3
Chop up the rest of the vegetables and parsley. Set ingredients aside.
Step 4
Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients, plus a shake of salt and pepper, in a small jar. Tightly screw on the lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds - 1 minute, until dressing is creamy and cloudy looking.
Step 5
When rice is done cooking, let it cool to room temperature. Add rice to a large mixing bowl and toss with all the veggies, chickpeas, and parsley, plus a generous shake of salt and pepper.
Step 6
Drizzle 1/3 cup of vinaigrette into the salad and toss to combine. Add more dressing, 1 tbsp at a time, to taste.
