When you have some leftover brown rice, this is a super way to make use of it and is a snap to make. With some vegan quesadillas ^[1]or nachos ^[2], and a green vegetable, makes a fun everyday meal.

Serves: 4 to 6

2 to 2 1/2 cups cold cooked brown rice
1 large sweet red bell pepper, cut into narrow, 2-inch strips
1 large firm ripe avocado, diced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 to 1 lime, to taste
One 15- to 16-ounce can pinto or black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, more or less to taste
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon good-quality chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients in a serving container and toss until thoroughly mixed. Serve at once.
