Prepare rice according to package directions. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.
Add bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, edamame, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve!
Notes
For an even healthier dish, use 1-2 tablespoons olive oil instead of 3.
Any color of bell pepper will taste great in this recipe!
Consider replacing the lime juice with lemon juice for a different flavor!
Use any variety of rice desired. Brown, rice or a flavored and packaged variety all taste great!
Feel free to add chopped fresh herbs to the salad such as parsley, chives or basil for added flavor.
Sprinkle toasted pine nuts over the top for an extra crunch!
If using an entire red onion is too much, add just 1 cup freshly chopped red onion to the salad.
Replace the veggies called for in the recipe with any other vegetables you have on hand! Zucchini, mushrooms, carrots and broccoli florets would all taste great!
