SO HOW'D IT GO?
i'm enjoying this at the very moment topped with tabasco and a huge blob of guacamole!!!!
This was quite tasty....very limey! I used a brown and wild rice blend from Whole Foods and only put about two thirds of it in the salad to make the black bean-to-rice ratio more even. I used sliced green onions (because I had some that needed to be used), green and orange bell pepper, and added tomato. Instead of cooking the cilantro with the rice, I added about one fourth of a cup of fresh minced cilantro at the end. I will definitely make this again.
