    Pineapple Rice Salad

    Published: Sep 15, 2012 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This luscious main-dish salad is a crowd-pleaser — it makes a generous portion, and so is a good potluck dish. Brown rice mingles with chewy baked tofu, pineapple chunks, broccoli and bell peppers. Leftovers are great in for portable lunches, packed in a container. Adapted from The Vegetarian Family Cookbook.

    Serves: 6

    • ¾ cup long-grain brown rice (brown basmati is particularly good
      or use an exotic rice blend)
    • ½ cup vegan mayonnaise, or as desired to moisten
    • Juice of ½ to 1 lemon or lime (2 to 4 tablespoons), to taste
    • 1 teaspoon good-quality curry powder, or more to taste
    • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks, or one 16-ounce can
      unsweetened pineapple chunks, well drained
    • 2 cups small bite-sized broccoli florets, steamed until bright green
    • 1 medium red bell pepper cut into short, narrow strips
    • 8-ounce package baked tofu, cut into narrow strips
    • 2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced, green parts only
    • ½ cup raisins
    • ¼ cup chopped cilantro or basil leaves, optional
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Gently simmer rice in 2 cups water until absorbed, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature

    Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and curry powder in a small bowl and whisk together and set aside until needed.

    When the rice is done, combine it with the remaining ingredients in a serving container and stir together. Stir in the mayonnaise mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature, then serve.
