CHINESE BLACK RICE ORANGE AND AVOCADO SALAD
From: "Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way" by Lorna Sass. "China meets the Southwest in this unusual fusion salad. Glistening Chinese black rice--usually sold under the label Forbidden Black Rice--set off against bright orange segments and avocado's pale green gives the mixture striking visual appeal." *Time does not include time it takes to cook rice.

[email protected]I love the idea of this salad, but I found the black rice to be a bit too chewy. I think I'll try it with brown rice next time.
