This is a very simple, dummy-proof recipe for Rice Salad with Tomatoes and Arugula, an easy and refreshing meal for the workplace.

Rice Salad with Tomatoes and Arugula

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked white rice, cooled
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups arugula, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: shaved Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Rice:

    • Prepare the rice according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely before using it in the salad. This can be done the night before and stored in the fridge.

  2. Prep the Vegetables back to Home or directly in the office:

    • Wash the cherry tomatoes and halve them.
    • Wash the arugula and give it a rough chop if the leaves are large.

  3. Assemble the Salad back to Home or directly in the office:

    • In a large bowl, mix the cooled rice with the cherry tomatoes and arugula.
    • Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice over the salad.
    • Season with salt and black pepper to your liking and toss everything together until well mixed.

  4. Add Optional Ingredients:

    • If you like cheese in your salad, add some shaved Parmesan or crumbled feta.

  5. Pack for the Workplace:

    • Transfer the salad into an airtight container. If you prefer your salad to be more refreshing, you can pack the dressing separately and add it just before eating.
    • If the salad is going to be eaten several hours later, consider packing the arugula separately to keep it from wilting and mix it in right before serving.

  6. Enjoy Your Meal:

    • When lunchtime comes around, if you've packed components separately, combine them, give your salad a good mix, and enjoy a tasty, wholesome meal at work!

This salad is ideal for a light, satisfying lunch that’s quick to prepare and easy to transport.
