Rice Pineapple Salad
Pineapple and teriyaki sauce make this Rice Pineapple Salad tangy and sweet. We usually use leftover rice as the base for this recipe. Whenever we go to Thai or Chinese restaurants, we go home with a container of rice. They generously provide plenty of it, and I hate to waste food, so we take it with us. By reheating the rice in the microwave, you can sail through this recipe quickly. If you don’t have leftover rice and are in a hurry, try Success brand brown rice. If you have a lot of time and want a quality, yummy rice, we recommend Lundberg brand Organic Brown Short Grain Rice in the orange bag.
Fortunately, the restaurants we usually go to do not add any oil to the rice, and we use a fat free teriyaki sauce, making this recipe very low fat with no added oils!
Here is a picture of our favorite brown rice in case you want to prepare the rice yourself:
Last Tuesday we were driving home from a meeting and felt famished, and the only places open were fast food restaurants. Fortunately, I had leftover brown rice in the fridge, and I told everyone that if they could give me 10 minutes once we arrived home, I would feed them a tasty meal. I threw together this, my favorite go-to recipe, and we chowed! And we were all happy! We sincerely hope this recipe helps you and yours stay on track too.

(Be careful when removing the plastic wrap so that the steam does not burn you).
