Pour 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then add the uncooked rice, stir to combine, and return to a boil. Cover pan, and reduce heat as low as possible. Simmer without opening the lid for 15 minutes, until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. (Or use rice cooker)

Step 2

Finely chop the peppers. Thinly slice the green onions. Mince the garlic. Lightly sauté these in olive oil for 2 mins.

Add black beans in with veggies and let all the flavors come together.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, chopped red and yellow peppers, and scallions (or onions), and toss to combine.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard, cumin, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to combine. Then pour over the rice mixture. Toss gently to coat, then either serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
