Garden Rice Salad



	Garden Rice Salad salads, vegetarian, side dish, rice ----SALAD---- 1 1/2 cup brown rice, cooked 1 1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped 3/4 cup peas, lightly cooked 1/4 cup green onions, chopped 1 tablespoon pine nuts ----DRESSING---- 2 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 pinch garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon basil Toss together the sald ingredients in a medium bowl & set aside. Mix together the salad dressing ingredients. Pour over the salad, continuing to stir as you pour. Toss together & refrigerate until ready to serve. MARK'S NOTES: I've found that a little more oil is needed, no more than another 1 ts. Lightly cooked corn is nice alternative to the peas. In place of the garlic powder, use 1 minced garlic clove.
