How to make Citrus rice salad

1) For the Rice Salad: Place an oven rack in the centre of the oven. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Arrange the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

2) In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock, salt and oil to a boil over medium-high heat Stir in the rice. Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat, and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Using a fork, fluff the rice and place in a large serving bowl. Add the parsley, orange zest, half of the lemon zest, green onions, and half the almonds. Toss well.

3) For the vinaigrette: In a blender, combine the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, and cumin.
