Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown rice
  • ½ cup chickpea chole
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • ¼ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 8-9 leaves iceberg lettuce
  • ¼ cup tomatoes cubed
  • ¼ cup onions cubed
  • ¼ cup zucchini & yellow squash cubed
  • 2 tbsp cheese cubed
  • to taste salt

Instructions

  • Soak chickpeas overnight. Boil it till tender. Set aside. Cook rice with roughly 1¾ times of water till reaches al dente stage. Drain if any water is leftover. Pour little oil on top to avoid grains sticking together. Set aside.
  • Mix all ingredients together, except lettuce leaves, in a large bowl. Set lettuce leaves and scoop out a generous helping of salad and place it in lettuce leaves. Drizzle some herb oil or any topping of your choice and enjoy the healthy meal.

Notes

  1. It tastes best when served cold.
  2. The salad is very forgiving and you can substitute or add any thing as per your taste or preference.
  3. I used apple cider vinegar as it was in the pantry, else balsamic vinegar will go very well with it.
