Crab And Rice Salad
1 cup uncooked brown rice
5 oz fresh steamed crab meat, flaked
1 large tomato, diced
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp red onion
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

In a medium saucepot, boil 2&1/2 cups of water. Slowly add 1 cup uncooked
brown rice. Cover and lower the heat to low. Cook the rice for 45 to 50
minutes until tender. Do not continually stir the rice (this will cause it
to become gummy). Just check occasionally.

tomato wedges. Just before serving, line plates with the lettuce and spoon
salad on top of the lettuce. Garnish with tomato wedges.
