Laurie's black rice black cherry salad



Laurie made us the perfect summer salad for dinner

Black Rice Black Cherry Salad

3½ cups hot cooked black (or any color) rice
4 cups raw spinach
¾ cup toasted walnut halves (save a few for garnish)

Mix the above ingredients in a bowl until the spinach begins to wilt.

Whisk together:

½ cup finely chopped pitted sweet black cherries
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt

Add dressing and cherries to the rice and spinach.  Top with a few basil leaves and ¼ cup Boss Mouse feta cheese.  Laurie served hers with an artichoke bruschetta with sun dried tomato - amazing!
