Heat the oven to 180°C and place the almonds on a baking tray. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until fragrant, then roughly chop.
In a large bowl, combine the rice, spring onion, currants, apple, pear and celery.
Stir through the chopped almonds. Whisk together the lemon juice, oil, sugar, salt and pepper and toss through the salad along with the parsley. Serve.
