Method

  • Cook the rice according to packet instructions, drain, and place in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the orange juice and honey together, and pour over the warm rice. Set aside to cool.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients to the bowl after a few minutes and mix well.
  • Allow the salad to stand for half an hour so that the dried fruit has a chance to plump up.
  • Serve chilled. This salad is also nice served in pitta breads with a dollop of natural yogurt.
