MMMmmm that sounds so good right now. Have you tried this salad your self yet? If so how did you tolerate the rice?

How did you do with the rice?!

I've tried this and did fine with the rice. But I don't seem to have any problem with rice as long as I don't eat much, its bread and pasta that I can't seem to do.

I didn't eat a whole serving (1 cup), so I really didn't have much rice. I bet you could cut down the amount of rice in it if you wanted to and it would still taste good.
