This is one exquisite salad that has to be in our diet. It is made with brown rice and quinoa, a mixture loaded with carbohydrates and fiber, an essential for our daily lives.
We will cook the main ingredients and mix them with a selection of nuts such as pine nuts, cashews, and seedless raisins. The trick is in our dressing, it will be easy and simple, so that it has that juiciness that we like so much.
This salad is ideal to have as a first course, as a single dish for a dinner or as an accompaniment to a main dish. You can take a look at our other recipes made with quinoa, such as warm quinoa and asparagus salad or quinoa, maca and chocolate cookies.

- Sal Island
- 12 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil

Preparation
We cook the Quinoa in a saucepan with water. We add the corresponding salt and when it starts to boil we count 10 minutes. When we have it ready, we drain it and set it aside.
We do the same with the Integral rice, we put it in a saucepan with water and add salt that corresponds to you. We let it cook until we see that the rice is ready. At that moment we remove it from the heat and drain it immediately.
In a salad bowl, mix the quinoa and brown rice.
We add the cashews, raisins and pine nuts. We stir well so that all the ingredients are mixed.
In a small bowl we make the dressing. We cast the 12 tablespoons of oil, whether olive or sunflower, and the 6 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar. We mix well and add it to the rice, quinoa and nuts salad. We remove and serve.
