Green Rice Salad
Adapted from Tassajara Cookbook: Lunches, Picnics & Appetizers by
Karla Oliveira (Gibbs Smith, 2007). This gorgeous rice salad gets its vibrant green color and lively flavor from fresh herbs. Its a nice change from pasta salad, and offers some whole grain goodness in the form of brown rice. It is pretty much perfect as is, but is also a great way to use up any extra odds and ends in your crisper drawer that might not have much of a future elsewhere. Rice Salad 1 cup cooked long-grain brown rice 1 cup cooked long-grain white rice 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions 1 to 1 and 1/2 cup fresh herbs, minced (parley, cilantro, oregano, tarragon, basil, etc) 1/2 cup grated white cheddar or asiago cheese 1 cup frozen peas, thawed 1/3 cup pine nuts Shredded lettuce Sprig of fresh herbs Balsamic Vinaigrette 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 and 1/2 tablespoon minced green onions 1 tablespoon minced parsley 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon honey or other natural sweetener Salt and pepper, to taste Toss all the vinaigrette ingredients together. Toss with the warm rice and then let cool. Toss in onions, herbs, cheese, peas, and nuts. Serve on shredded lettuce, and garnish with fresh herbs. Makes 1 and 1/2 quarts. -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia D. Hill at . Only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting. Please allow several days for your submission to appear.
