---------- Recipe via UNREGISTERED Meal-Master (tm) v8.02 Title: Wild Rice-Cucumber Salad Categories: Low, Fat Yield: 1 servings 1 1/2 c Wild rice; rinsed 3 c Water 3 Cucumbers; sliced thick and - cut into quarters 1 Red bell pepper; diced 1 bn Green onions (or 1 Vidalia - or red onion); chopped The cucumbers can be increased with good results, and other vegetables added. Bring the water to a boil, add the wild rice. Return to boil, turn down to simmer for 40 minutes or until some of the grains burst. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Drain any excess water. Toss cooled rice and other ingredients in a bowl. You may use any dressing you like, but I like to use one of these: Basil/Balsamic Vinegar Dressing [T] 1/3 c Balsamic vinegar 1 tb Soy sauce 2 tb Water 2 tb Fresh basil; chopped fine 2 cl Garlic; chopped fine 1 tb Onion; chopped fine 1/2 ts Black pepper Combine in a jar, shake, and allow to sit, preferably overnight. The salad will also be improved if it is dressed and allowed to sit for several hours, which is good, since there is a lot of it! I think I derived this from something McDougall. Savory Salad Dressing. [T] 1 ts Dijon mustard 1/4 c Red wine vinegar 1/4 c Water 1/4 c Soy sauce 1 da Tabasco sauce Combine in jar, shake, allow to sit for a few hours. Makes a LARGE amount, keeps well. From the New McDougall Cookbook From: "Anne.Cox" <20676AC@msu.edu> converted to MM by Donna Webster -----
