Simple Salad & Rice Dinner

For a dinner in a hurry (like ours was last night), go for some simple tastes that don't take too long to whip up.

Coco-Veggie Brown Rice

First, I put a cup of brown rice in a pot (there are only two of us) and added 1 cup of low fat coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups of vegetable broth. The result is a semi-rich, flavorful rice that could complement almost any dish. Mmm.

Simple Summer Salad

Then I threw a fresh salad together from our farmer's market greens, adding one sliced avocado, one shredded carrot, some sesame seeds, sesame oil, and tamari. Toss it up and you've got a simple, fresh tasting delicious salad!
