Brown Rice Salad

I make a large amount of this to keep in the fridge for a complete protien leftover. Serves about 8 (or more). Also, I soak the rice because it renders the nutrients more digestible and more easily assimilated by the body. All ingredients are *organic* Enjoy!

2 cups Brown Rice, rinse and soak for 30 min
2 Large Carrots, chopped
3 Celery Sticks, chopped
1/2 med red onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Garlic salt to taste (about 1-2 T)

Cook rice until soft (about 40 min with 4 cups of water) and set aside to cool off. Mix all other ingredients in a very large bowl. Add rice when cool, and adjust seasoning to taste. Cool in fridge for about an hour. This dish is intended to eat straight from the fridge.
