Black Rice, Spinach, Salmon, and Mango Salad
There are many types of black rice on the market in a range of textures. Look for a chewy-textured variety, such as Forbidden Rice by Lotus Foods.

This is not something I'd make more than once a year--it's a little odd--but it's good. Didn't really make any changes except to halve the recipe and add a dash of crushed red pepper. Always surprised that melon or mango actually works with tomatoes, but it does. I made something like this with chicken (recipe in another magazine), and I think the chicken breast might be preferable. We ate this as a one-dish meal, which means that my husband ate two servings, and I had one. If you had some crusty bread or a soup, the serving size would be correct.

The only change I made to the recipe was that I substituted 1/2 tsp. ground savory for the tsp. of cumin as I don't care for cumin. That was great! I also used a little more lime juice and a little less oil. I was concerned that this wouldn't fill me up, but I was wrong! I will be making this again for us, as well as for company. This dish also looks so pretty! Lots of color, and the black rice is so unexpected! Tastes even better than it looks! Enjoy!
