Just 5 mins, a very nice dish can be showed in front of my friends, simple and healthy!

It's the season of fresh produce, such as asparagus and arugula. This refreshing salad has both of these delicious veggies along with red bell pepper tossed with a light and tasty vinaigrette, and topped with some creamy goat cheese or any your favorite creamy cheese.

I originally learned this recipe that I learned from my good friend of mine from San Juan. She taught me to make beans and rice like the natives do it.

Using brown rice instead of white rice decreases the glycemic index slightly as well. I hope you enjoy!

This healthy yet straightforward brown rice and corn salad delivers flavor as well as fiber using guava, kiwi, or apples for a touch of sweetness and variety.
