Ingredients
- 2 c. Cooked black beans, liquid removed
- 3 c. Cooked brown rice
- 2 x Celery stalks, finely minced
- 1 tsp Grnd coriander
- 2 tsp Grnd cumin
- 1/2 c. Minced scallions

- 2 tsp Grated orange peel, fresh
- 2 Tbsp. Minced fresh parsley

Directions
- Variation from the original: I substituted fatfree Italian salad dressing for the extra virgin olive oil and eliminated the spanish olives and the roasted walnut garnish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the liquid removed beans with the rice, and celery. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the beans and rice mix, and stir thoroughly.
- Top with the cilantro or possibly parsley.
