Since I tried Mary Urrutia Randelmans "Arroz con Pollo" Salad, I am an admirer of Rice and Grains Salads. Here is an easy example of Rice and Beans Salad:

RICE AND BEANS SALAD

1 cup cooked rice
1 can black beans, drained and washed
2 hard cooked eggs, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup pickle relish
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tb Balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Mixed salad greens of several colors

Mix well all ingredients, except salad greens. Chill several hours. Serve with the mixed greens on the side. For best results, combine while the rice is still hot.
