Brown Rice and Black Bean Salad
Ammaliatrice
"This is one of our summer staples. It goes together quickly and easily; it's good for you and yummy. It's also very versatile. The first night it's a stand-alone salad; the second night, heat a portion in a pan with an additional canned veggie and it's a side dish. If you have a favorite veggie, add that; if you hate corn, leave it out. Have fun and eat without guilt!"

Prepared as is, this would have been very bland. Except for frozen peas, I used all fresh veggies, and I added beet greens. I also used quinoa, and roasted fresh green chiles. Since I didn't use...

With a few modifications, this turned out great. I served it as a warm dish. I cooked the rice in a rice cooker and then added the other ingredients to the cooker after the rice was done. I u...

Easy to make & not bad...but honestly--didn't thrill me. It was fine, but kind of lame. I added a bit of red pepper flakes & a touch of hot sauce to spice it up, which seemed to help. Even th...

Mmmmm good! I microwaved fresh collard greens (5min) and used precooked frozen rice medley to cut down cooking time from 2hrs to 10 min. Added fresh parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, frozen...
