    6 (or a small bunch) green onions including tops, finely chopped
    2-3 cups minced fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, watercress, etcup)
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or vegan cheddar style shreds
    2 cups cooked fresh peas
    1/4 cup pine nuts or slivered blanched almonds
    1 to 1-1/2 cup of your favorite oil and vinegar dressing

  1. Cook brown rice, then turn into a large mixing bowl to cool. Once cool, gently toss with 1/2 cup of the oil and vinegar dressing.
