This salad is a complete, satisfying option full of textures. Brown rice provides a fiber-rich base that pairs perfectly with the freshness of the vegetables and the creaminess of the oriental-inspired sauce. To season the dish and enhance the flavor of the tamari without raising the sodium content, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

4. Assembling: In a large serving dish, combine the cooled brown rice with the cucumber, carrot, and edamame.
