Why not make this healthy rice salad the night before to save time when you're in a rush? We've added walnuts to the salsa as they're rich in essential omega-3 fats

RECIPE TIPS

MAKE AHEAD

Get ahead for the next day - make the rice and salsa the night before and chill. For best results, toss the apple and nuts into the salsa on the day, so they stay fresh.

Beetroot contains a compound called betaine, which helps lower blood pressure and promotes muscle repair after exercise.
