I cut this out from one of the women's mags years ago and lost it. I've
searched the web and can't come up with the recipe.......cherry toms, white
rice, red vinegar, black beans, cilantro, cukes.........It was a delicious
cold salad. Does this ring a bell with anyone or do you have something
comparable. I'm not great with guessing amounts, although this shouldn't be
too terribly difficult. Thanks in advance! Robin

Here is the closest recipe I could find through Google.

Thanks Rusty! I think I did see this when I googled and probably passed it
over because of the cumin. I believe I'll eliminate that and the oregano. I
thought that would be a nice dish to take to a picnic on Saturday. Robin
