I found this recipe when we were shopping in Costco on sample day. We tried the sample and really liked how refreshing it was, especially when served cold. It is also high in antioxidants and very simple to make. I sometimes experiment by using different types of nuts or adding a bit of orange juice to the mix. If you give it a try, I think you will enjoy it.
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked Black Rice - I use Village Harvest I found at Costco
2 medium oranges - Navel oranges work best for me, but use whatever you like best.
1/2 cup dried cranberries - I prefer to use the low sugar type by Ocean Spray
1/2 cup chopped chives - Fresh is best
1/4 cup pine nuts - These took me awhile to find but they are so worth it.
salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
When I first cooked this rice it looked a little strange because the water turned black, but that is normal.

Every thing else is very simple. Pretty much chop and mix.
