Venere black rice with papaya, avocado, and smoked salmon

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: see rice packaging
Servings: 2 portions

Ingredients:

• 150 g black Venus rice
• 170 g smoked salmon
• 1 ripe Sicilia Avocado avocado
• 150 g ripe Sicilia Avocado papaya
• Oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Juice of 1 lime
• Mixed seeds

Method

1. Bring plenty of salted water to a boil and cook the rice according to the package instructions.
2. Meanwhile, clean the papaya by removing the skin and internal seeds, then slice it.
3. Halve the avocado, remove the outer skin – if it's ripe, you'll easily remove it with a sharp knife – then slice each half of the avocado horizontally.
4. Drain the rice and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.
5. Dress it with a vinaigrette made from the zest and juice of one lime, 1 tablespoon of oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the rice with sliced smoked salmon, avocado, and papaya.
6. Garnish with mixed seeds and parsley if desired.

Extra tip:

For a vegetarian version, substitute the salmon with Greek feta cheese.
