Tropical Brown Rice Salad Recipe post-vegan Hi Jane

[Guest guest]

Yay! Jane that's wonderful to hear. This is a great meal when the summer heat

gets to you and you can't spend time cooking in a hot kitchen Send in your pate

recipe and I'll try it also. You can also add cashew nuts or I was going to

mention that white peaches and nectarines are also good in it. Really you can

change this recipe all around to suit your taste. If you like raisins those are

good too. I even sprinkle walnuts or pine nuts on top and a little ground

flaxseed too. It's the balsamic vinegar with the rice and fruit that do

it..........Donna

today, and it was wonderful.

I didn't have black olives so I used green and I also added 1/2 of a peach

that I had left over. I put the salad with lettuce in a pita bread and it

was great. For the other 1/2 of the pita I added some veggie pate I had in

the refrig. I spread on the inside of the pita. That was fabulous also.

Thanks for this recipe and I'll type my veggie pate in the next post.
