Instructions
- Rinse the rice well under cold water. Place the rice in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Place the lid on and cook very gently for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice stand for 5–10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

- In a large bowl, place the brown rice, broccolini, cucumber, edamame beans, spring onion and avocado.
- For the dressing: Place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until you reach a thin consistency, like maple syrup.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and mix everything together.
