Directions:
For the Salad
First, rinse the rice, this step helps remove starches that can cause clumping during the cooking process.
Next, put rice into a lidded saucepan, stir in 1 3/4 cups of water for every cup rice, along with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, allow the rice to steam.
Remove rice from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
Fluff with a fork, and and refrigerate 10 minutes.
Spread rice evenly on 4 dinner plates.
Arrange tomatoes, carrots (arranged in curlicues on their thin ends), garbanzo beans, bell pepper, greens, blueberries and cabbage in neat rows over the rice.
For the Dressing
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, water, turmeric, garlic and salt until smooth.
Drizzle dressing over salads and serve. Enjoy!
