Ingredients

  • 2½ cups water or broth 
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup lime juice

  • 2 tsp minced fresh jalapeño pepper

  1. Combine water (or broth) and rice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  2. Meanwhile, in a screw-top jar, combine oil, lime juice, orange juice, jalapeño, ¼ cup cilantro, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well.
  3. Arrange rice, veggies, edamame, and avocado in serving bowls. Top with scallions and 2 Tbsp cilantro. Drizzle with vinaigrette just before serving.

  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence

Side Dish Instructions

  2. Meanwhile, toss 3 Tbsp olive oil, broccoli, bell peppers, onion, Italian seasoning (or herbes de Provence), 1 tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper in the bowl until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  3. Add the squash to the vegetables in the bowl. Toss to combine. Spread the vegetables out on 2 baking sheets, dividing evenly. Roast, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are tender and browned in spots, 17 to 20 minutes. Drizzle with vinegar.
