• 3 c. Cooked brown rice

1. 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.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the liquid removed beans with the rice, and celery.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients.
4. Pour the dressing over the beans and rice mix, and stir thoroughly.
5. Top with the cilantro or possibly parsley.
