Preparation
Place rice and 1 cup (250 mL) water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes or until rice has absorbed all the water.
Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice beet. Peel carrots and then make ribbons using a peeler.
Arrange Boston lettuce and radicchio leaves on a large serving plate. Top with rice, beets, carrots, Feta and pomegranate arils. In a small bowl, mix orange juice with olive oil and pour over salad. Season with pepper and serve.
Note:
To curl the carrot ribbons, place in ice water for about 30 minutes before serving.
Tips
Cheese alternative: Canadian Bocconcini (add salt to taste).
