Another unique and healthy meal that the kids will love (as long as you don’t tell them there’s spinach in there!). We’re making Popeye proud today!<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n6 cups fresh spinach, torn
\n1\/4 cup sunflower seeds
\n1\/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
\n1\/4 cup olive oil (preferably extra virgin)
\n1 tbsp honey
\n1 cup green grapes, cut in half
\n1 cup raspberries
\n2 oranges, peeled and cut into sections
\n2 tsp fresh basil
\n2 cups of brown rice, cooked and chilled
\nSalt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Method:
\nAdd spinach, rice, grapes and sunflower seeds to a large salad bowl and combine. <\/p>\n

Blend vinegar, oil, honey, basil, salt and pepper thoroughly and pour over rice mixture. Toss until well coated then gently add oranges and raspberries. <\/p>\n

This is a great Bar-B-Que side dish. Great with leftover cold fried chicken too!<\/p>\n
