pasta salad with a pesto type dressing just omit the cheese from your pesto (assuming of course you'll make the pesto yourself) for a healthy option

Oh I've got this one - Salad you say (just so everyone is clear) and healthy (presuming you believe pasta is healthy)

How about a Rizoni Salad?

Boil as much Rizoni as you require till al dente.
Make a vinaigrette from olive oil and cider vinegar.
Slice finely or grate the following - red onion, carrot, spring onion, celery, deseeded tomatoes and toss in.
Slice small and cook fresh beans, add small broccoli flowerets and some frozen peas near the end of the cooking time. Blanch and add.
Olives and dill pickleare also nice additions and optional.
Ham - diced finely = good.
An Italian would have no problems using Anchovies but I'm guessing the average NZer would.
Can add garlic to the dressing if you like.
Season and add the dressing at the last minute. Toss.

Brown Rice Salad

1 cup brown rice
1 3/4 cup water
1/4 cup soya sauce (light if available)
1/2 onion finely chopped

Cook the rice in the water & when cooked & still hot add the soya sauce and finely chopped onions let cool (a couple of hours preferably overnight)

Add the following ~
1 red pepper chopped
2 Spring Onions
1/2 cup roasted peanuts chopped ( I leave them whole)
1/2 cup each of roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds and sultanas.

Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 clove garlic crushed
tsp fresh ginger
1 tsp honey or Sugar
pinch of salt.

Mix and pour over salad.Mix well.

You can add as many different seed types as you like really... I have also added a drained can of chickpeas

Sounds yum Julia. I have also bumped up the meat,potato,vege threads as there are some great ideas there for you #1
