I have made this for lunch many times. It is a go-to recipe when you have not been to the store. Love Lucinda's program and recipes.

This dish could convince me to become a vegetarian! So simple and yet delicious to the max. I have another recipe for this that takes hours and contains a plethora of ingredients and yet I think this preparation has as much flavor or more Keep 'em coming, Lucinda.

Fantastic simple stand-by recipe! This came out perfectly the first time I made it, AND I've made it several times since - it is a winner every time. Thanks, Luncinda, for another great recipe!

I went to the pantry, gathered ingredients to include brown rice, then to the fridge, and grabbed a bag of salad fixings. I did not have an avocado. I used a red onion, and red and green peppers, Voila, a dish very similar to a dish my husband ate in Costa Rica. FANTASTIC!! He wants the same dish for supper over eggs, Thanks for great dish Lucinda. I have tried many of your recipes and you bring joy to so many of our meals. Your show is still on TV and we've already finished lunch!!
