The next time you find yourself with 2 cups of leftover plain rice, turn it into this! Not only does it make a delicious breakfast, but also a delight for the lunch box, picnic basket, or dessert table.

Great way to use leftover cooked rice.
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) pineapple tidbits, in it's own juice
  • 1 can (15 oz) Mandarin oranges

Open cans and drain. Reserve pineapple juice for another use. Place in large bowl.

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice, chilled
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds
  • 1/4 cup oat bran (dry, uncooked)
  • 2 cups seedless red grapes, washed well, patted dry
  • 1/2 cup raisins or chopped dried apicots
  • 1 container (8 oz) strawberry nonfat yogurt*
  • dash cinnamon and nutmeg (opt)

Add and mix gently.

Serve now or later. Will keep in refrigerator, covered, for 2 days.

*If all you have is plain nonfat yogurt, simply stir in 2 T strawberry jam or preserves to 1 cup plain yogurt. Other flavors, like raspberry and peach, work great as well.
