what to do with leftover brown rice, take 2

Chunky Lime Brown Rice

What is FFF’s number one frugal rule?

Never let good food go to waste! Even if it’s plain ol’ brown rice.

I had about 2 cups of brown rice left over from dinner the other night and decided to reinvent it, adding fresh flavors and textures. 

This brown rice salad would be delicious served in fish tacos or along side a southwestern/mexican style meat. It’s extremely inexpensive, yet tasty. 

I’m planning on taking some to work packaged in a mason jar. Mason Jars truly are a great thing to have on hand! All shapes and sizes please.
