This Tropical Black Bean Rice Bowl is light and easy, a perfect summer side or main dish. It would be great to take to a barbeque, or just to eat for a quick Tuesday night dinner.

Technically I guess you could call this a rice salad, but I prefer “bowl meal” because let’s face it – bowl meals are just fun. Take all the things you love, and toss them in a bowl with some dressing, and call it day. Couldn’t be easier.

This rice bowl definitely couldn’t be easier.

The only cooking you have to do for this dish is the rice, and if you have a rice cooker (which you definitely should) that takes all the guess work out of it. If you don’t have a rice cooker, you can use the standard stovetop method for cooking rice, or you could even use microwave or boil-in-a-bag rice.

If you’re looking to lighten things up a bit, you could sub quinoa or barley or any other whole grain for the rice, and that’s just the start of the alterations and substitutions you can make with this dish.
