*Made for My 3 Chefs* Delicious! I am always looking for recipes that use this wonderful grain, and I'm glad to have found this one. This makes a nice refreshing salad for those hot summer days when you don't feel like eating anything heavy. My store was out of wild rice, so I had to use a basmati/wild rice mix. Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as written and we loved it. Thank you for sharing this easy and delicious recipe...it is definitely a keeper!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have always enjoyed cooking and looking for recipes. I have to admit though, until I joined Weight Watchers four years ago I never did much cooking. Since then it has became vital to do my own cooking and I find I am really good at it. I really enjoy trying new ingredients like Quinoa, Millet, Porktenderloin, hoisin sauce, beans, Textured Vegetable Protein among many other new ingredients. My family has started thinking I am a little weird with all the unusual ingredients I have in my pantry. My passions are my 3 nephews, Matthew, Lucas and Charles and my 8 parrots, Guy, Pete, Toby, Daisy, Zeke, Ernie, Max and Lu. They keep me positive when life takes a nose dive.
