SPICY RICE SALAD

Make this citrus vinaigrette (which is enough for 2 salads) by combining:

  • ½ c oil
  • ¼ c juice from mandarin oranges
  • grated zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tb frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 2 tb vinegar (fruity or Balsamic, if you have it)
  • 1 tb sugar
  • 1 tb soy sauce (I used the “light” kind)
  • dash salt
  • For the salad, chop 1 c peppers (mixed colors or red) and microwave briefly to wilt. Mix with:

  • 4 c cooked rice
  • 1 c cooked black beans
  • 11 oz mandarin oranges, drained and cut in pieces
  • 1 tb minced fresh ginger root

  • Stir in enough citrus vinaigrette to moisten.
