Esther Conrad of Overland Park, Kansas tossed together this satisfying salad starring rice and other healthy ingredients such as spinach, almonds and oranges. A little citrus makes this a fruitful change of pace from plain lettuce and dressing, she confirms.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup reduced-fat italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups cooked rice
2 cups torn fresh spinach
2 small navel oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 celery rib, chopped
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, Italian dressing, orange peel, honey and salt. Add rice; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Just before serving, add the spinach, oranges, celery and almonds; toss to coat. Yield: 8 servings.
