Although I love black glutinous rice, my mind's palate has doubts about this one. The sweet note to black glutinous rice seems, in my mind, to not work with the other elements. BUT please do try it if you're in the mood and tell us that it did work:) Hi Stuart. Although I love black glutinous rice, my mind's palate has doubts about this one.

I had no idea... I recently tried glutinous black rice for the first time, and it was quite pleasant, i'm thinking you could use that here.. it's a whole grain so it's vaguely healthy and has that nice 'tooth' to it (which is why i think it would suit a salad) and there is a kind of nutty taste to it.

Interesting. Any salad that contains sweet, sour and nuts, is very ok by me. Just the inspiration I need to use the bag of wild rice hidden in my cupboard. Interesting.

However, this salad looks dleightful. I typically am not a salad person either, more because the thought of leafy greens is generally off-putting. However, this salad looks dleightful.

I agree about wild rice. I have to admit that the reason the salad came into being was because I had a packet languishing in my cupboard for *much* too long. But this is one of the few dishes where I've felt it's actually *worth* having wild rice. Hi green-Y. I agree about wild rice.

Somehow seems more virtuous that way :-D I love wild rice for the texture, but usually can't be bothered with it because it takes so long to cook when all I want is a little bit to toss through some white rice. So I usually alternate between eating white rice and toothsome, nutty brown rice. I'm one of those who likes my salad with a lot of green in it. Somehow seems more virtuous that way :-D
