"This salad, incorporating healthful beans, brown rice and crunchy veggies, is so pretty and tasty. I have called for pre-cooked brown rice and not taken it into account in the cooking time of this recipe."

  1. 1/13/11 - A very good salad! I followed the recipe, using the olive oil, Dijon, dried onions, garlic powder, grape tomatoes, cilantro and orange bell pepper options. I think the only thing I'd change in the future is to cut back on the oil and add a little extra spice. The cilantro is a great addition, compared to parsley, because of it's strong presence, but I still think the overall flavor could use a seasoning boost. Thanks for sharing your creation, Ev! Made & enjoyed for Hidden Gems - Winter 2010<br/>1/18/11 - UPDATE: Evelyn, DS and I literally inhaled this salad over the course of 3 days. I'm actually making it again right now because we've been craving it for the 3 days since we ran out! I can't even express what a delicious salad creation this is and with my new gluten free diet, this turns out to be a very satisfying snack or lunch during the day; the two most difficult meals on the GF diet. Thanks again for submitting it! :D

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
