This fancy salad is well worth the work. If black rice isn’t readily available, swap it out for your favorite rice. Instant brown rice will speed up the salad preparation significantly.
Ingredients
-
Dressing:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. water
- 2 Tbsp. mustard
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 Tbsp. capers, roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp. salt
- Pepper to taste
Salad:

- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
Directions
- Whisk together dressing ingredients. Set aside.
