Have prepared this Melon Salad. several times. Very refreshing. MELON SALAD Take a Water Melon the lovely Red fleshed type. Seedless if any. Chop this up into large glass bowl, into that add 1 sliced Spanish onion, and a lot of mint, best sliced up I find. Then sprinkle onto that some French dressing but not too much as the melons will become juicy. Mix well. BROWN RICE SALAD 1 Cup Brown Rice, salt, 6 spring onions, 1 red pepper (capsicum) cored, seeded and diced, I uses a little green pepper as well.1/3 cup currants. A medium tin corn kernels drained. 60 gr (2 0z) roasted cashew nuts( you can buy these roasted in pkts) 2 tblspns roasted sunflower seeds, 6 tblspns Soy Sauce Dressing (made separately) 3 tblspns chopped Parsley. SOY SAUCE DRESSING 1/4 cup Sunflower oil, 4 tblspns soy sauce, 2 tblspns lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, crushed, S&P. Put all ingredients into a screw topped jar, adding salt and pepper to taste. Shake well to blend. It makes one cup. You only need 1/2 cup unless making double the recipe. To make the Brown Rice Salad. Cook the rice in boiling salted water for 30 to 40 minutes. I cooked it in the Microwave rice cooker for half that time. Until no liquid. Until tender. Rinse and drain well. Chop the spring onions finely. Transfer the rice to a bowl while still warm and add the spring onions and remaining ingredients. Toss thoroughly and transfer to a serving dish. Serves 6 to 8 Family favourite. Edie

Cousins, We are getting some strange and wonderful sounding recipes. I hope they are being recorded. I am in the dark on some of the metric measurements. I would appreciate it if the amounts were also listed in ounces, pinches, dabs or handfuls.
