Creating Chorizo and Apple Rice Salad is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium pot, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 40 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
2. Prepare the Chorizo: While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, chorizo and bell pepper mixture, diced apple, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley.
5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper.
6. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
7. Chill: If desired, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
8. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy!
