Broccoli Slaw & Chic Pea Rice

Broccoli Slaw & Chic Pea Rice

I really enjoy mixed Rice dishes, specially when they include fresh veggies. If you’ve often wondered what to do with Broccoli Slaw well then this recipe is for you. It’s also for anyone who enjoys a great mix of textures. This is one of the simplest recipes to throw together. It make a great lunch or can be served as a side dish.
