I like to soak my brown rice for 10 minutes and then rinse it using a fine mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear before cooking. I find that this produces a better finished product but this step is completely optional.
Add 2 cups of water/broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook the rice according to package directions, until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Or use a rice cooker according to package directions.
In a large bowl, combine your cooked rice, black beans, corn, and chopped tomatoes with their juice. Stir well. Add your diced green bell pepper and stir again.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Pour your dressing over your rice and beans mixture and add chopped parsley, then stir everything together.
Taste test and adjust seasonings if desired.
Serve right away. Or cover, refrigerate and serve a few hours later which gives flavor time to develop.
Enjoy!
