Servings: persons

2 cups cooked brown and wild rice mix
1 cup cooked chicken, diced into 1/2 inch cubes
12 cup water
12 cup baby carrots, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup green beans, cut into 1 inch lengths
1 tablespoon brown sugar
12 cup pineapple chunks in juice (reserve 1/4 cup juice)
13 cup golden raisin
12 cup water chestnut
12 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 12 tablespoons Dijon mustard
14 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil
14 teaspoon black pepper

1
Place 1/2 cup of water into a shallow skillet over medium heat.
2
Bring to a simmer and add the baby carrots and cook for 4 minutes.
3
(I like my vegetables rather toothy, if you prefer softer cook an additional minute.)
4
If the water fully evaporates, add just 1 or 2 tablespoons more.
5
Add the green beans and brown sugar to the carrots and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
6
Remove from heat.
7
Mix together all of the salad ingredients except the tomatoes.
8
Mix the dressing together in a small bowl.
9
Pour on salad and toss.
10
Add tomatoes and toss a bit more.
11
(Tomatoes are tossed later as they can become a little bruised and mushed).
12
Chill the salad at least 1 hour, but you can make this a day (24 hours) ahead.
13
It ages quite well.
