DESCRIPTION

Hot weather is upon us and I don't like to spend too much time in the kitchen heating it up. I like to eat simpler and fresher, so tasty, main-course salads are the ticket! This salad makes me feel so good eating it, bringing balance to my appetite and my health, hence the name.

  • 1 1/4 cups arborio rice
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, cooked until tender
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans or 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can corn niblets, drained
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced (or any type of sweeter onion, like Vidalia)
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 1/3 cup golden raisin, chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
