What You Need

3 cups (750 ml) cooked Basmati rice

1 cup (250 ml) halved cherry tomatoes

1 cup (250 ml) diced, seeded cucumber

1 cup (250 ml) diced yellow bell pepper

1 cup (250 ml) halved green grapes

1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped red onion

1 tsp (5 ml) curry paste or

powder

1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

3 tbsp (45 ml) white wine vinegar

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

5 oz (150 g) Canadian Aged Cheddar, diced

Instructions

Toss rice with fruit and vegetables.

In a bowl, combine curry, oil and vinegar. Season.

Drizzle dressing on rice mix, and mix to coat well.

Tips

For a milder version, try replacing curry with herbes de Provence or add raisins, diced apples, nuts, etc.—whatever your imagination thinks up!

Canadian Gouda, Feta, Havarti and Mozzarella are all fine alternatives to the suggested Aged Cheddar.
