Rice summer salad

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 cups Brown rice, long-grain; cook
½ cup Cider vinegar or wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon Dry mustard
1 teaspoon Tarragon
6 Green onions; chopped fine
2 Celery; chopped
1 large Green bell pepper; chopped
1 large Tomato
1 cup Green peas, frozen; cooked
5 tablespoons Pimiento; diced
¼ cup Fresh parsley
1 Cucumber; optional

Directions

Recipe by: McDougall Plan Mix vinegar, mustard, and tarragon. Pour over the cooked rice. Mix well. If rice is warm, let cool to room temperature before adding remaining ingredients. When rice is cool, add remaining ingredients. Toss gently. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

HELPFUL HINTS: For a variation, substitute basil or dill weed for the tarragon. Short-grain brown rice also may be used. Serve as a cool main dish for a hot summer's evening, either plain or piled on lettuce leaves and garnished with tomatoes and watercress.
