Love this salad which is very hearty since it packs the protein and carbs evenly for a
power lunch! Prep time is 30 minutes and cook time is another 30 minutes for a total of
1 hour. This recipe will yield you 6 servings.

3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon diced jalapeno peppers
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
sea salt to taste
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
How to prepare:
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir.
