1pt Brown Rice, Cooked

1cp Wild Rice, Cooked

1pt Cous-Cous, Cooked

1pt Quinoa, Cooked

1pt Bulgur Wheat, Cooked

1cp Dried Currants

1 ½ cps Spicy or Sugared Pecans

1pt Diced Celery

1cp Diced Tomato

½ cp Diced Red Onion

1cp Chopped Parsley

 Vinaigrette:

1cp Canola Oil

½ cp Soy Sauce

¼ cp Sugar

1tsp Cayenne Pepper

1tsp Cracked Black Pepper

Directions:

       Make the Vinaigrette first by combining all ingredients for the Vinaigrette in a mixing bowl with a whisk. Or, I like to use a container with a lid to use as a shaker. To make the salad, combine everything from Brown Rice to Chopped Parsley into a mixing bowl. Shake or Whisk Vinaigrette together & fold into salad as needed to your taste.
