Vegetarian Rice-Taco Salad

"This is a tasty vegetarian dish. You won't even miss the meat! You can substitute any type of Southwestern-style dressing for the 1000 Island. I slice avocado to serve around the plate. This dish can make a very nice presentation. *The cheese can be left out and a vegan dressing can be used and it will still be delicious!"

I had to update this because we got married in January 2009! Yipee! We love to cook and love to try all kinds of new and exciting foods. I (Amanda) am a vegetarian and luckily found someone who has very diverse eating habits. We live in Winter Springs, Florida with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. We enjoy traveling, watching movies, reading, being active and spending time with friends. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group09okra.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
