Hi Nancy and assistants, from Perth, Western Australia. I really look
forward to, and enjoy your newsletters. My son married a girl from Ohio and has lived in Youngstown since 1996. This is in reply to Connie looking for salad recipes (30/7). Always get rave reviews and requests for this whenever it is served. I was never partial to rice salad, but can eat this any time, and make meal of it.

Nutty Brown Rice Salad
1-1/2 cups brown rice
4 spring onions, chopped
1 red capsicum, finely chopped
4-1/2 oz. raisins, chopped
1 cup corn kernels
handful chopped parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove crushed garlic (or to your taste)
cracked black pepper and salt to taste.
7 oz cashew nuts

Mix oil, soya sauce, lemon juice and garlic together. (I find it easiest to put in a jar and shake to combine)

Cook rice rice as per directions. When cool add rest of ingredients (except nuts) and mix together, then stir in oil mixture. Cool in fridge and just before serving stir in cashew nuts.
Val, Perth, Western Australia.
