Olive oil

Directions
- Toast pine nuts in a small pan over medium-high heat on the stove. Watch carefully, and toss often, as they will burn very easily! This ingredient is optional, or can be substituted with sunflower seeds or other nuts.
- Combine vinegar and oil and set aside.

Recipe Notes
This is also a fantastic recipe to make use of leftover rice! Make a big batch of brown rice at the beginning of the week, then use in this salad recipe, and as a side dish for dinner proteins.
