I saw something similar on a buffet in Las Vegas. So I decided to make my own version. This feeds a crowd & multiplies/divides easily. Time to cook the grains is not included. This can be served hot or cold. Feel free to use different ingredients according to tastes & availability. This recipe was invented for substituting - it's a blueprint for a fabulous fiber-filled lowfat salad.

1/2 cup cooked wild rice

1/2 cup cooked brown rice
