Lime and Parsley Brown Rice Salad

We can’t get enough of zesty limes! We uses them in deserts, marinades, salads, drinks, the list is endless. Unfortunately, limes only grow for about 4 months of the year. If you are like us and love limes we recommend you plant a limequat tree as well. It has a lovely lime flavour, fruits all year and works well in this Lime & Parsley Brown Rice Salad.
