    This was tasty. I ate all the leftovers the minute company was out the door. I was a little confused over the brown rice. I cooked two cups of rice and ended up with tons more than two cups cooked, but then after dressing the salad, it seem liked it needed almost all the rice. I probably added three and half cups. The flavors are so fresh and bright. I'd bring this dish anywhere.

    I have used this recipe for numerous occasions. It is always s huge success. I usually switch medium barley (which you cook just like rice for the brown rice and I bump up the honey a touch. This delicious salad is a very popular side dish in our home. But the best part....The Thai Basil Vinaigrette dressing is very versatile. I've used it on fish, chicken and other salads. Good Job Bobby and thank you so much for this amazing recipe.
