http://www.veganchef.com/
Ingredients
3 cups water
3/4 cup brown basmati rice, rinsed, and drained
3/4 cup wild rice, rinsed, and drained
1 - 15 oz. can black-eyed peas, rinsed, and drained
1/2 cup. carrot, finely diced
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 cup green pepper, destemmed, deseeded, and finely diced
1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
3 T. olive oil
1 T. garlic, minced
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 t. dried thyme
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. chili powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, place the water, and bring to a boil. Add the
brown basmati and wild rice, stir, cover, reduce the heat to low, and
simmer for 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, leave covered, and
set aside for 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam. Using a fork, fluff
the cooked rice, and set aside to cool completely. Transfer the cooled
rice to a medium bowl. Add the black-eyed peas, carrot, celery, green
pepper, red onion, and parsley, and toss gently. In a small bowl, place
the remaining ingredients, and whisk well. Pour the dressing over the
salad and toss gently to combine. Set the salad aside for 15 minutes or
more, to allow the flavors to blend before serving.
