CORN & RICE SALAD {Recipe}

corn and rice salad

This is a delicious and healthy recipe.  I have made it different ways, but most recently made it with brown rice and it was delicious!  It is very flavorful.  It’s a great lunch or it could be a side dish with grilled chicken, for example.  It would also be good on tacos. 

Another great idea would be to stuff tomatoes or bell pepper with it for a pretty presentation.  You could even do cherry tomatoes for an appetizer to entertain with.

ENJOY!
