Bhutanese Rice and White Bean Salad
Bhutanese rice is a red rice that’s often served at Thai restaurants. I like it because it’s a whole grain and it cooks in half the time of brown rice. It also has a magnificent nutty flavor and pairs well with white beans and greens. This salad is an ideal side dish or a vegetarian meal all on its own!
