1 cup Wild rice
1 cup Long grain brown rice
1 cup Green (French) lentils
COMBINE WITH
1 Red, yellow, green bell
Pepper, chopped
2 cup Small cherry tomatoes
1 Or 2 carrots
1/4 cup Chopped fresh basil (more or
Less)
1 To 2 Tbs or chopped
Fresh mint
DRESSING
Nonfat tomato-herb
Red wine vinegar


Cook grains separately, in 2 cups water, until done, 45 minutes or less.
For the dressing, I used a prepared nonfat tomato-herb dressing (Trader Joe's) mixed about half and half with red wine vinegar because I generally find prepared nonfat dressings too thick and too sweet for my taste. I didn't measure, but I used perhaps half a cup, maybe as much as a cup, total, just enough to moisten everything.
I let it sit in the refrigerator all day, to let the flavors mix. I don't know how many people it served--it filled a large bowl-- but there wasn't any left over after the potluck (and while I was glad that everyone liked it, I was sorry not to have some to take home).
