wild rice salad

a really great choice for the gluten free crowd and it is a favorite of our family. it keeps well after it is made so it can be made a day ahead.  serves 10-12   great leftover!

easy tomato salad
cut up desired amount of tomatoes( i used plum tomatoes in the picture). add a couple cloves of chopped garlic, good quality olive oil, a touch of balsamic vinegar (i use white), a few sliced basil leaves, salt and pepper to taste. have some good bread on hand to dip in the juice! do not refrigerate. it should be made ahead for the most flavor. sit it on the counter and give it an occasional stir
enjoy!
