Wild rice-cucumber salad

Ingredients

Quantity		Ingredient
1½	cup	Wild rice, rinsed
3	cups	Water
3		Cucumbers, sliced thick and
	slice	Cut into quarters
1		Red bell pepper, diced
1	bunch	Green onions (or 1 Vidalia
		Or red onion), chopped

Directions

(the cucumbers can be increased with good results, and other veg.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] - I think I derived this from something McDougall

⅓ c balsamic vinegar 1 T soy sauce 2 T water 2 T fresh basil, chopped fine 2 cloves garlic, chopped fine 1 T onion, chopped fine ½ t 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! The other dressing I use on this is from the New McDougall Cookbook, called the Savory Salad Dressing. [T] 1 t Dijon mustard ¼ c red wine vinegar ¼ c water ¼ c soy sauce dash Tobasco sauce Combine in jar, shake, allow to sit for a few hours.
