The package made more than I’d expected so I divied it up. 1/2 of the TJ rice stuff mixed with chopped cherry tomatoes, garlic and red onion, both minced, some of last year’s frozen basil, a squeeze of lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Based on L’s recipe–except I added crumbled goat cheese because we have it. I also tried a variation on a 90’s salad standard: the other half of the rice with dried cranberries (TJ’s orange flavored in fact) and toasted walnuts (I wanted almonds) and sesame-based salad dressing (I’m lucky enough to have some Krazy Kazu’s) If we’d had oranges, I maybe put some chopped bits in. But we don’t. And if I had any more minced red onion, I’d put that in too, but it’s gone. And maybe as an homage to the original recipe, I’d add little strips of spinach–if we had any. Yum. I bet they’ll be better tomorrow. (I also posted these at my blog, http://katerothwell.blogspot.com)
