I love all the things you have mixed in there. I don't think I'd ever put 2 grains togther in a salad but love the idea. For some reason the thought never occurred to me. I'm with you on eating inside! When I was younger my family liked eating dinner outside sometimes but I hated it so I'd sit at the dining table inside and they'd sit outside and we'd just see each other through the sliding glass door.

I would never even attempt to get a tan, because my skin has only one reaction to the sun, and that is to go lobster red and super sore, and then my freckles get darker. I have red hair anyway, so I'd just look like a giant carrot or something. LOL. For the longest time I hated cilantro. I would have an actual physical reaction to the taste and even the smell! But it is in so many recipes that one day I decided to try and get myself to like it. I started with some Cilantro Sour Cream to ease myself in, and now I love it and even sometimes crave it! I am looking forward to trying out that tofu recipe - it sounds amazing. :) I am so glad to see you have returned to blogging, I do enjoy reading your posts. :)

And the recipe thanks you, too. ;) Nora, I guess that's how this type of salad got its name! But I agree--a rainbow of colors is the healthiest, too! Jes, Yep, quite deelish! Jennifer, It makes a huge amount--I would have gladly shared! Andrea, Oh, we used Coppertone, too. And I'm also wishing I could undo some of those summers (and not just because of tanning!) ;) Johanna, Well, your mum must have pointed at someone with my mother's chest. And your winters sound more like summer to me--I had to laugh at the thought that anything could grow here in winter! Rosemary, Surprising that it's cold in Cape Town! But our summer has also been uncharacteristically cold. Deb, Yep, I guess it's weird all over! And I'd be pretty much lost w/o the AC in summer--the humidity alone is enough to fell me! Gina, Thanks so much! I think my tanning days are over, too. Winnie, I love your take on chopped salads--so true! Shellyfish, Yes, students did that at U of T when I was in residence, too! I remember leaving for March break (1st week of March--still very cold here) and students were out on the balcony suntanning! ttfn300, You said it, sister! Rain, rain, go away. . . don't come again. Kiersten, Hope you use sunscreen at least! And glad you like the salad. :) kitchenspoon, I love the lemon-in-hair addition! Did it work? Alex, Well, it's sort of got rice in it, too, so you might be able to get away with it at a wedding. . . oh, and I will never think of the CN Tower the same way again! Kelly, Aw, thanks! Lisa, That's a very optimistic way to view the rain. I think I'll try to look at it that way from now on. Astra Libris, Well, at least the salad has lots of color, even if we don't! ;) Courtney, Yep, I use 50 SPF when I go out! And even walking the dogs every day, I'm still tofu. Celine, I'm also in love with it. And it pairs so well with the wild rice here. :) Shelby,
Aw, thanks! And the recipe thanks you, too. ;)

I have the same complexion as you, it sounds like (tofu! I love it!), and if I am going to be in the sun I slather up with sunscreen. Pale = cool, right?! That salad sounds great, and is so vibrant and colorful--perfect for a summer get-together! Courtney Hey–white is the new tan! I have the same complexion as you, it sounds like (tofu!
