BrownRice Salad

While living in Santa Barbara, CA and working at a photography studio on State Street, my co-worker shared this salad with me.  It's relatively easy and has a lot of crunch and zip.  Use cooked (leftover) brown rice and combine with a simple Italian dressing and curry powder to taste.  Add diced/minced vegetables: celery, carrots, raw mushrooms, green or sweet onions, raisins, green apple, and salt & pepper to taste.  Add diced cooked chicken or tuna as desired.
I would recommend adding the curry powder gradually, to ensure that it's not too spicy!
