Summer Rice Salad with Tomatoes, Spinach, Dill #RiceSalad
I found this recipe ages ago in one of those Betty Crocker mini cookbooks they used to sell at the check-out stands at grocery stores. You are supposed to cut up a tomato as a salad cup. Too much work, for me in my 20’s and now in my ah-hem. Well, let’s skip that part.... Continue Reading →
