[recipe] Vegetable Rice Salad

[Guest guest]

This salad was so good; it had a very summer-like

flavor to it that helped me shake the glooms of winter.

Next time i will likely double this recipe though since

it was gone so fast and i have a feeling it will taste even

better as leftovers the next day.
