Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 zucchini large, sliced
  • 1 yellow squash sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 piece oranges juice and zest
  • 1 Lemon juice and zest
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped fresh

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

  • Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Serve the roasted vegetable and citrus rice salad warm or chilled.

      Sounds good, but I wonder if it will taste ok with other fruits? Like maybe pineapple instead of oranges? 🤔

    Is it supposed to be cold? My friend said warm is better but idk.

    Not bad, but I think the oranges were a bit too much. Maybe less next time?

      I’m glad to hear that! The citrus really does add a nice zing. Did you use any other spices?

      Sounds fancy but I ain’t got time for all that. Just toss some stuff together, right?

    Did you really roast the veggies for 30 mins? Mine got burnt in 20! Not sure I’d make it again.

    1. 2 stars
      30 mins?? That’s crazy! I would never leave them that long. 20 mins is enough for me. Have you considered maybe your oven runs hotter?

      I always check my veggies after 20 mins too! Maybe the oven temp was off? I usually roast them for 25 mins max. Sorry yours burnt!

    Too many vegetables for my taste. I prefer it with just the rice.

    I don’t know, I followed the recipe but it tasted kinda bland. I think it needs more spice.

    Vegetables? I hate em. Who eats that stuff? Just give me meat! 1/5

    Yuck! Didn’t like the taste at all. Should’ve stuck to regular rice.

      I totally agree! Some things just don’t mix well. Regular rice for the win!
