Black Rice Salad with Veggies
This week marks the last of my 5 week series of classes at Gilda’s Club.
Today’s topic: Food and Pleasure.
Since the weather is warm, I decided to make a cold rice salad. This recipe calls for black rice, which is also known as Forbidden Rice. I cooked it up in my new pressure cooker the night before class.
