The BEST of Mary York's best salads, IMHO.. the melding of flavors builds during its overnight stay in your fridge. I made this for Ed's 60th party. Mary & Tom made the long trip from State College for the festivities. Read more . When Mary saw the salad she remarked that I made the expensive one.. she uses 1/2 wild and half white rice. You choose!
