Cuisine: American

Ready in 45 minutes

Ingredients

3 c brown rice Cooked

1 ts Ground coriander

2 ts orange peel Grated

2 ts Ground cumin

Fresh cilantro OR parsley

2 tb fresh cilantro Chopped

3 tb Italian salad dressing; fat-free

1/2 ts Cinnamon

Salt and ground black pepper

2 c black beans Cooked, drained

1 1/2 tb Cider vinegar

2 stalks Celery finely chopped

1/2 c scallions Chopped

1/2 c Orange juice

2 tb Chopped fresh parsley


Directions

Variation from the original: I substituted fatfree Italian salad dressing for the olive oil and eliminated the spanish olives and the roasted walnut garnish. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained 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 mixture, and stir thoroughly. Top with the cilantro or parsley.
