Light rice salad [Bulkbites.com]

• Servings: 4
• Time: 20 minutes

Nuts are stuffed with healthy fatty acids, and often packed with protein. If you really like some healthy food, this is the recipe to go with. The fats are all from the nuts and the olive oil (another source of healthy fats!). You can serve the salad with some bread depending on your nutritional requirements.
