This vibrant red rice salad with pecans and fennel is a sophisticated vegan dish that celebrates contrasting textures and bright, zesty flavours. The nutty base of the red rice provides a wonderful chew, which pairs beautifully with the crispness of shaved fennel and the aromatic punch of fresh coriander. By macerating the fennel and red onion in lime juice, the vegetables soften slightly while retaining their refreshing crunch, creating a balanced and colourful salad that is as nourishing as it is visually striking.
Deeply savoury and naturally gluten-free, this dish makes an excellent healthy lunch or a standout side for a weekend gathering. The addition of warm, oil-toasted pecans adds a rich depth that elevates the simple ingredients. For the best flavour, prepare the rice in advance and toss the fresh herbs through just before serving to maintain their bright, garden-fresh appeal.

Ingredients for Red Rice Salad with Pecans, Fennel, and Herbs
190g red rice
1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced
1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
160ml pecans, divided
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup coriander leaves and finely chopped tender stems
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Toasted pistachio oil or almond oil (for serving
optional)
How to make Red Rice Salad with Pecans, Fennel, and Herbs
Cook rice according to package directions. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool.
Meanwhile, toss fennel and onion with 2 tablespoons lime juice in a large bowl and let sit, tossing occasionally, until lime juice is almost entirely absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
Coarsely chop 50g pecans; finely chop remaining nuts. Cook in olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low until golden brown, 5-10 minutes. Let cool.
Add rice and pecans to fennel mixture along with remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and toss to combine. Gently fold in coriander; season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled with pistachio oil, if desired.
Do ahead: Rice salad (without coriander) can be chilled up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before serving.
