We frequently held potluck meals at the job I used to have. I simply brought the prepared items, a rice cooker, and an electric frying pan. About 20 minutes prior to lunch, I would begin the rice and finish it in the frying pan while everyone else was uncovering and laying out their plates. My recipe copy is getting so torn that I thought I should archive it. If lost, I would terribly miss it.

Reviews
A great twist on a salad. Be sure to slice the kumquats small otherwise you might get a big surprise in a few of your bites. Didn’t have celery and didn’t miss it. Used feta not asiago and it was still great! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent & refreshingly different! I used walnuts instead of pinenuts & used all broccoli instead of broccoli & cauliflower…
I used raspberry vinegar rather than balsamic and it was delicious! Served at a dinner party and everyone raved about it.
One of the best salads I have ever tasted! All my family loves it and everyone I have told about it ask for the recipe!
