Brown rice salad with apricots and pine nuts

Try this lovely slightly-sweet salad as a side dish to simple grilled chicken pieces or even pork. The pine nuts give a nice contrast to the softness of the rice, while the onions counter-balance the sweetness of the apricots. Yum!

Tip: If you're cooking the rice from scratch, you'll need to cook 1 cup of raw brown rice to make up the 3 cups of cooked rice required for this recipe.
