Black Rice and Raspberry Salad

January 25, 2017 32 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Black rice and raspberry salad with sprouts, mint, and a sweet mustard dressing.

This very simple, but totally flavourful black rice and raspberry salad is bright, fresh and incredibly healthy. Packed with iron-rich, earthy black rice, sweet berries, refreshing mint, crunchy sprouts, delicious pine nuts and a bright yellow maple-mustard dressing, this beautiful mixture is hard to resist. This salad makes a lovely appetiser or a light yet filling dinner, plus it’s great for potlucks, picnics or to take with you to work for lunch.

I’m totally proud of myself because I really wanted to share a proper recipe for Valentine’s day this year, and look what’s here?! A tasty and beautiful (not dessert) dish that happens to be one of the most delicious things I’ve made in the last months. Since this salad looks so pretty and tastes amazing I feel it’s the perfect light side or appetiser to serve on a Valentine’s day dinner. And because it would be kinda lame to start a rant about such an easy and quick salad, all I’ll say today is that please try this nutrient packed black rice and raspberry salad because you’ll fall in love for sure!

If you try this recipe, let me know! I would highly appreciate if you could leave a comment and rate it. Also don’t forget to take a picture and tag it on Instagram (use the hashtag #greenevi) or post it on Facebook! I love seeing what you come up with! ♥︎

    Wow, what a gorgeous salad you’ve got here, Evi! Not only is it delicious and healthy, but I also like the way it looks. The red and black colors do introduce a great dramatic effect, and I so much like it. Very well done!

    It looks fab. I never added raspberries in salads, but I imagine they give a little sharpness that makes the salad delicious. Love the idea. x

    A really beautiful salad! I love raspberries or any kind of berries in a salad, they make anything taste fresh and decadent without the added calories.
