I found a recipe in the newspaper that sounded great, but the ingredients were too high in fat for us, writes Karen Schmidt of Plymouth, Wisconsin. So I adapted it and created this salad with good-for-you ingredients like brown rice and turkey pepperoni. Ingredients:
2 cups cooked brown rice, cooled |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1/2 medium green pepper, julienned |
4 ounces sliced turkey pepperoni, quartered |
1/2 cup cubed fully cooked ham |
4 green onions, sliced |
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained |
1/2 cup reduced-fat italian salad dressing |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Yield: 9 servings.
