Good evening!
Final exams are beginning this week. And I have a cold. Bad moment to be sick!
This morning, I was trying to study at the library but it wasn’t working so I went back home and relaxed with soup. It really helped and now I have enough energy to study a little 
.
I made Diran and I a salad for dinner since we were going to the library all day. I ended up going back home but I went back to the library so I could study and ate with him. I didn’t eat much since my belly was full of soup but it was delicious!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups uncooked brown basmati rice
- 3/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 small bunch coriander, ciseled
Dressing:
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- Salt, pepper to taste
Directions: Cook rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl to cool.
Prepare the dressing by mixing all ingredients together with a whisk. Pour on the rice and toss well. Add all other ingredients and toss again.
Makes 6 servings
I loved the crunch of the almonds and seeds combined with the rice. The subtle taste of the lime & lemon juices give the salad a really nice flavor.
Hope you all had a fun weekend,
going back to my books!

This salad sounds delicious! I love the addition of the seeds and nuts, I imagine they would give the salad a nice crunch and flavor along with the citrus!
Good luck on finals
I always hated them, but loved the feeling of the end of the semester being so close. This rice salad looks delicious!
This looks great!!! Good luck with the finals!! Hope you feel better soon! Everyone around me is getting sick, guess it's that time of year!
