Autumn Curry Confetti Rice Salad

October 17, 2023
This is the time of year when all things orange take center stage. I like to use either roasted sweet potatoes or winter squash in this. The salad is best to make a day ahead and have in the fridge.

I like to use red and green bell peppers, along with the red onion all chopped like confetti. It makes the dish fun and colorful. I use brown rice instead of white. I think it holds up better
