This meatless salad makes a robust side dish, filling lunch or satisfying snack. Try spooning some into low-fat tortillas for a main course. If you're counting fat grams, it's also tasty without the olives.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked long grain rice, cooled
1 cup cooked wild rice, cooled
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
1-1/2 cups chunky salsa
1/2 cup reduced-fat italian salad dressing
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine salsa, salad dressing, cumin and salt; shake well.
2. Pour over rice mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Yield: 7 servings.
