      What a great idea! I would never have thought of this, and yet it would be the perfect light dinner for me, especially as the weather gets warmer and veggie options grow. Thank you!

      one big carrot chopped
      half a red onion
      2 cups of arugula
      1/2 cup of cilantra
      just a buch of dill cut up
      i just put a splash of vinegar
      and a tablespoon of italian dressing

      i wish i could how to upload a photo but i dont know how.so you could have an idea.. its moslty veggies over the rice..

      If you can't get arugula, can you use something else?

      I have made something similar using orzo, will have to try the brown rice. Add broccoli florets and try it with balsamic vinegar and a little olive oil for dressing.

      I make something similar, but use couscous. I will often add garbanzo beans and/or low fat feta cheese along with my veggies of choice. Yummy!
