"A great salad to serve during summer. This salad has a nutty flavour and is so easy to prepare. I use chives instead of parsley sometimes and also will add a handful of anything left in the fridge if I want to use it up."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Using a a fry pan and spray a light coat of oil onto the surface then heat fry pan; when hot, add in the pepitas, sunflower seeds and pine nuts, continually stirring so they do not burn.
Step 2
When they slightly brown up immediately remove from pan onto some absorbent paper to cool.
Step 3
Add the lemon juice, oil, soy sauce and garlic into a salad dressing container or glass jar with lid and shake to mix & set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl add the cooled rice and add all the other salad ingredients (remaining ingredients) & mix until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly drizzle the dressing over the salad and stir through, you may want to use less dressing so add 3/4 of the dressing stir and taste before adding more dressing if desired. Note: The rice does tend to soak up a lot of the dressing and the rice intensifies in flavor on standing.
