Corn & Rice Salad {Recipe Repost}

This is such a yummy and healthy recipe that I thought I would repost it today.  You could TOTALLY make it with quinoa instead of rice and it would be yummy and even healthier!  It’s a perfect spring/summer recipe….great for a picnic or BBQ. Enjoy!

CORN & RICE SALAD RECIPE

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!
