<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Here's a yummy summer salad! Just about everyone who has tasted it likes it. And it's so easy! 1 c. uncooked brown basmati rice (or substitute any grain) 3 c. water 1/2 to 1 c. each of fresh veggies (tomatoes, corn, broccoli, and carrots are good) 1/2 c. cooked beans (we like pintoes but black beans would give a lot of contrast) Dressing: 1/2 c. olive oil (or your preference of oils) 1/2 c. lemon juice 4 Tbs. wheat-free tamari 1 tsp. dried oregano 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 tsp. onion powder Cook basmati rice in water by bringing to a boil . Then lower heat and simmer until done and water is absorbed, about 30 to 45 minutes. Mix dressing ingredients together (I go heavy handed on the spices). When rice is done, add chopped veggies and dressing. Stir to mix. You probably won't need all of the dressing so add a little at a time. Very good warm, room temp, or cold. Enjoy! Crystal
