Method
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to package instructions (typically about 15-20 minutes in boiling water or as per rice cooker). Once done, fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and sesame oil. Whisk together until well blended.
- Add the drained kidney beans, diced bell peppers, and sliced carrots to the bowl. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- On a serving plate, create a bed of the fluffy rice. Spoon the honey mustard bean and vegetable mixture over the rice, allowing the colors to shine through.
- Garnish the dish with fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese or sliced avocado for added richness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful, healthy meal!

If you prefer a different bean, black beans or chickpeas can be great substitutes for kidney beans.
