Ballard Adobe Rice Salad

Submitted by DailyInspiration

"The food columnist at the Santa Barbara News says this recipe was served at a restored 19th-century Stagecoach stop for a Historical Society luncheon. This salad combines marinated artichoke hearts with pimento-stuffed olives and a small amount of curry powder. I haven't tried it yet, but it does sound interesting."
