Great salad! I veered a little bit from the recipe, using brown rice that I had already prepared. I also steamed the carrots, corn, and peas together in the microwave. Surprisingly, this salad had a lot of flavor and was delicious. It makes a lovely side dish. In order to make it a main dish and suitable for packing for my lunch, I later added some crumbled goat cheese. Really nice! Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT7 by a Hot Pink Lady.

This was really wonderful. I did make a few minor changes, but stuck with the spirit of the recipe. I used one package of boil-a-bag brown rice. I also sauteed all of the veggies, since I'm not fond of boiled vegetable. I used frozen corn, peas & edamame, plus sweet white onion. I did leave out the celery too. But I stuck with the seasoning, using kosher salt, freshly cracked pepper and EVOO. Easy and healthy!
