Broccoli Chicken Brown Rice Salad



2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup small broccoli florets, cooked tender crisp
1 cooked chicken breast, cut into small chunks
1/4 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup canola oil
2 Tbsp. orange juice
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

1. In a large bowl, toss together the rice, broccoli, chicken and cranberries. Pour the canola oil and orange juice in, season with salt and ground black pepper. Serve with unsweetened applesauce and milk.

Substitute: Use a brown rice and wild rice blend for extra texture. Use 2 Tbsp. raisins for the same amount of dried cranberries for a sweet-tart mix. You can also substitute 1/4 cup of bottled dressing instead of making your own.



Makes 4-6 servings, depending on age and appetite.
