Directions

Dont' have guava? No problem, we frequently substitute peeled and diced kiwifruit or apples.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion until translucent.

Add in the diced green and red bell peppers and continue to sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.

Reduce the heat, stir in the corn, the brown rice, and then the guava or other diced fruit of choice.

Remove the salad from the heat and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Chill in the refrigerator and stir again before serving.

For additional flavor, toss with a simple vinaigrette dressing before chilling. A simple lemon and oil dressing is a wonderful addition.
