Dr. McDougall’s Rainbow Salad

Servings:  6-8

Preparation Time:  15 minutes (cooked rice needed)

Chilling Time:  2 hours

3 cups cooked brown rice

1  15 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1  15 ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

1  15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

1⁄4 cup chopped red onion

1⁄4 cup chopped pimiento

2 tablespoons chopped black olives

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

3⁄4 cup oil-free honey-mustard salad dressing

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1⁄2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Place the rice and beans in a large bowl and combine.  Add the corn, peas, onion, pimiento, olives and cilantro.  Toss well to mix.  Combine the salad dressing, soy sauce and Tabasco in a mixing cup and whisk until smooth.  Pour over the salad and mix well.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. 

Hints:  Many varieties of oil-free salad dressings are available in supermarkets and natural food stores.  It is also very simple to make your own salad dressings.  Feel free to use whichever dressing you like in this recipe.  Taste salad after it has been refrigerated for an hour or so and adjust seasonings as necessary.  Use reduced sodium soy sauce if you prefer.
