Dressing:
Step 1
Rinse the rice, peas and lentils and add them to a saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and gently simmer for 17 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse well under cold water. Spread out on a tray and refrigerate until required.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the chilled rice mixture with cucumber, carrot, herbs, spring onions and tomatoes. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over salad, toss well.
Step 3
Arrange lettuce leaves over the base of a serving platter. Spoon salad over leaves and finish off with peanuts, chillies and lime wedges.
Add some shredded chicken for a more substantial salad.
