Spinach Rice Salad

Cook rice according to package directions. This should take between 40 and 45 minutes.

While rice is cooking, saute onions, salt, pepper in the vegetable oil in a large skillet over low heat until soft and caramelized. This will take approximately 20-30 minutes. Add the sugar during the last 5 minutes. Stir until sugar dissolves into the onions. Add spinach, mint and basil and stir everything together. Stir in vinegar and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring until everything is incorporated. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

When it’s done, fluff rice with a fork and place it into a large bowl. Add spinach mixture and toss gently. Add walnuts and feta and mix well. Top with green onions.

Salad may be served warm or chilled.

Refrigerate leftovers.
