    List of Ingredients




    DRESSING:
    1 1/2 cups corn oil
    3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
    2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
    1/4 cup minced fresh basil
    1 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp. dried
    1 tablespoon minced garlic

    SALAD:
    6 cups cooked brown rice
    3/4 pound cooked peeled shrimp, cut into thirds
    1/4 pound pepperoni, sliced into matchsticks
    1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
    1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
    1 cup quartered cooked artichoke hearts
    1/2 cup minced red onion
    1/2 cup dried currants
    4 scallions, sliced (including greens)
    1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
    2 tablespoons minced fresh dill weed

    Recipe



    Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients, mixing well. Add the dressing gradually, stopping when you think the salad is moist enough. Reserve the remaining dressing. Toss everything until thoroughly combined. Chill the salad for at least 4 hours before serving. Stir in more dressing to taste, if you think the salad needs it. Serve cold or at room temperature. Serves 6-8.
