We use it a lot in rice salad--make some white rice (brown doesn't seem right for this particular thing), add pickled asparagus, sliced carrots, tofu, steamed veggies you have on hand, mix with a mustard vinagrette, serve on a bed of lettuce (or not) and you've got yourself a fab spring meal!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824705934753463573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1145637567743980212006-04-21T09:39:00.000-07:002006-04-21T09:39:00.000-07:00>>Am I the only one that thinks asparagus and "cre...>>Am I the only one that thinks asparagus and "cream" are good? <BR/><BR/>I'm with you!
