I came up with the recipe because I wanted something different to take to picnics beside potato or macaroni salad. It goes great with grilled chicken or fish.—Jennifer Addotta, New Freedom, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice |
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice |
1 celery rib, thinly sliced |
1 small red onion, finely chopped |
1/4 cup dried cranberries |
3 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise |
4-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley |
4-1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup slivered almonds |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. Cook long grain rice and brown rice according to package directions. Transfer to a large bowl; cool. Add the celery, onion and cranberries.
