Method

  • Combine all the dressing ingredients in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk until well combined.

  • To cook the rice, simply massage the pouch to separate the grains and place in the microwave for the required time as indicated on the packet.

  • Add the warm rice to the dressing, stir to coat. Cover and set aside 10 minutes.

  • Just before serving add the cherries, cucumber, chilli, parsley and coconut. Toss to combine. Spoon into a serving bowl, crumble over the cheese. Serve cold or at room temperature.

    Tip: If the cherries are large cut them in half, salad looks great with some cherries whole and some halved.
