Confetti Rice Salad
A versatile salad using vegetables, beans, corn, peppers, and brown rice. You can dress it up or down depending on what's in your vegetable bin. A real hit at parties and so different from salads made from pasta, potatoes or slaw. I cook a double recipe of brown rice for a weeknight dinner using turmeric for color and save the rest for a weekend salad..
