Thai Brown Rice Salad

We are getting to the middle of Summer, and all of it’s heat. When it’s hot outside, I don’t like to eat really heavy, so I am all about finding and creating new and tasty salads. After some thought and collaborating, I came up with this Thai Brown Rice Salad, which is heavenly! I was recently sent several varieties of Hinode Riceproducts, and I really wanted to use the Calrose Brown Rice in a summer-y salad. I went back and forth with some different ingredients and knew that I wanted something really colorful, for Summer. I finally decided on something that would come across as a Thai tasting dish. The peanuts, pineapple and ginger tasting teriyaki sauce really do that for this salad. It is simple to make and would be great to serve at any upcoming 4th of July barbecues that you might have.
