SWAP ScoreChoose Often
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rice, brown, uncooked
- 3 cups water
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 green onion
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups vegetables (your favorite, cut into small pieces)
Directions
- Wash rice and put into a 2-quart pot with water. Bring to boil, then lower heat to simmer, and cook uncovered until all the water is absorbed, about 35-40 minutes.
- Pour rice into medium sized bowl and allow to cool.
- Pour lemon juice over rice and stir. When rice is cooled but still warm, add vegetables, salt, pepper, and oil.
- Stir and chill at least 1 hour. This dish also can be served warm.
