Rice salad with pomegranate molasses

This is a fantastic vegetarian rice salad that you can easily pop in a tupperware for a healthy lunch. The avocado, feta and pomegranate seeds adds plenty of flavour and texture – you’ll be counting down the hours until lunch.

Ingredients :
  • 150g basmati and wild rice
  • 1 ripe sliced avocado
  • 100g sliced cucumber
  • 60g crumbled feta
  • 50g pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tsp za’atar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
Directions :

  1. Put the rice in a saucepan and pour in enough cold water to cover by 2-3cm. Bring to the boil and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain and cool under cold water. Put in a large bowl.

  2. Add the avocado, cucumber, feta and pomegranate seeds to the rice and season well.

  3. For the dressing, combine the za’atar, olive oil and pomegranate molasses in a small bowl. Pour over the rice, then toss together. Divide the rice salad evenly between two containers. Seal and chill until needed.
