This is so good. I found it in a promotional salad cookbook. It is a beautiful salad and absolutely different and delicious! It is so easy and I am always asked for the recipe. I use a lot of extra pistachios, lime wedges & cilantro as garnish.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup long grain brown rice

1/2 cup white long-grain rice

1/4 cup dates (pits removed & cut in slivers)

1/2 cup dried apricot (cut in slivers)

1/3 cup pistachio nut (toasted, if you like)

4 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

5 tablespoons pistachio oil (or your preference)

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

salt & fresh ground pepper

Directions:

1. Shake all dressing ingredients in a jar.
2. Cook two rices separately by pkg instructions.
3. Mix the cooked rice together with dressing.
4. Add dates, apricots, chives, pistachios& mix.
5. Serve at room temperature.
