#2,006: Spinach-Almond Rice

I love using my Young Living essential oil vitality line when I'm cooking, so I'm always looking for different recipes to try it in.  I was excited to try this recipe because I knew I could make this ahead of time and eat it the rest of the week for my lunch.  Although this was definitely best eaten the day I made it because it was hot, it would still be good reheated, although I prefer to eat it cold.  :)  Weird, I know! 

1 1/2 cups basmati rice
4 cups baby spinach
1/2 c chopped marinated artichoke hearts
1/2 c toasted almonds (I used toasted pecans)
1 c chopped fresh dill (I used 1 drop of Young Living Dill Vitality essential oil)
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
juice of 2 lemons (I used 3 drops of Young Living Lemon Vitality essential oil)
1/3 cup olive oil

Bring 3 cups salted water to a simmer; add basmati rice, cover and cook over low heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool. Toss with baby spinach, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, toasted slivered almonds, dill, grated lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
