Dill and rice are a winning flavor combination, and the nutty brown rice is a perfect foil for the assertive dill. To bring these two delicious ingredients together, I made a dressing that would combine some typical salad dressing ingredients with warm Indian spices.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup brown rice, cooked
- 2 cups green beans or haricot vert, cut into one-inch pieces. You can use frozen.
- 1 cup button or crimini mushrooms, sliced

Preparation
Make the dressing:
- Heat 1 tsp of the coconut oil and add the coriander seeds and cumin seeds. Saute for about two minutes over medium-high heat until they start to turn color. Remove to a blender.
- Add to the blender the red chillies, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, cashew nuts and salt and ground black pepper.
- Blend until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- In a saucepan, heat the oil and add the onions with some salt and ground black pepper. Saute over medium-high heat for about five minutes or until the onions are translucent but not turning color. Add the mushrooms, green beans and lima beans and mix well.
- Let the vegetables cook about five minutes or until the beans are tender but not mushy.
- Add the cooked brown rice, dill and the salad dressing. Mix everything well together. Turn off heat.
