Preparing the Grilled Meat

Start by marinating your choice of meat (chicken or steak) with your preferred seasonings. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches the desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.

Cooking the Brown Rice

Rinse 100-150 grams of brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the rice, and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30-45 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Assembling the Salad

Combine leafy greens, tomato slices, sliced cucumber, and red onion rings in a large bowl. Add croutons and your choice of salad dressing, then toss well to combine. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

Serving

Arrange the sliced grilled meat over the cooked brown rice on a plate. Serve the salad on the side for a complete and balanced meal.
