    Coconut and citrus black rice saladBlack rice? What the heck is black rice! Well, I will tell you what it’s not. It is not wild rice. Yes, wild rice may be black, and it is rice, but it is not black rice. If you make the mistake and buy black wild rice for this recipe your coconut and citrus black rice salad will end up tasting like a barn instead of a light, refreshing lunch. Mmm… barn. How do I know this? I’m not telling.

    So where do you find black rice? Go to the organic aisle in the grocery store. You will typically find it there after you have already spent 10 minutes pacing back and forth in the Asian food aisle staring at the 30 different rice selections that don’t actually include black rice.

    Have I got you excited for this coconut and citrus black rice salad recipe yet? OK, maybe I need to work on my hyping skills.

    Well once you do actually locate and purchase the right ingredients, this recipe will get your taste buds dancing Gangnam Style (Now try getting that out of your head the rest of the day.  You're welcome). I promise you it is a great way to switch up your routine if you are looking for something a little different to make, especially if you are looking for something fresh and healthy. Did someone say summer?

    If you want to avoid the grocery store scavenger hunt for black rice consider purchasing it online. It is nonperishable so it ships well and smaller grocery stores likely won't carry it. This is the brand I used to make this recipe.
