Ingredients
Scale
- 1 6-ounce box Uncle Ben’s® Long Grain Wild Rice Original Recipe
- 1 zucchini (diced)
- 12 cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 yellow bell pepper (cored and diced)
- 3 tablespoons basil (finely chopped)
Creamy avocado dressing
- 1 avocado (peeled and pitted)
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons Greed yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Uncle Ben’s® rice according to instructions on the package. Let cool to room temperature.
- Put all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Divide rice among 4 mason jars (I’m using 10 ounce jars) and gently press down with a spoon.
- Top with zucchini, tomatoes and bell pepper.
- Grab a piece of cling wrap and put a quarter of the avocado dressing in the center. Take all 4 corners of the cling wrap and twist to create a little pouch.
- Add it to the mason jar, on top of the bell pepper. Repeat the same for the remaining 3 mason jars. Close with a lid and refrigerate until it’s time to eat or take to work.
