CONFETTI RICE SALAD
A versatile salad using vegetables, beans, corn, peppers, and brown rice. You can dress it up or down depending on what's in your vegetable bin. A real hit at parties and so different from salads made from pasta, potatoes or slaw. I cook a double recipe of brown rice for a weeknight dinner using turmeric for color and save the rest for a weekend salad..

CONFETTI BEAN AND RICE SALAD
This salad, incorporating healthful beans, brown rice and crunchy veggies, is so pretty and tasty. I have called for pre-cooked brown rice and not taken it into account in the cooking time of this recipe.
