Cooperative Dinner: Forbidden Rice Salad

I've decided to start posting about cooperative dinners because they have been a success!

What is a cooperative dinner?

I make a sauce and a base. You bring one ingredient. It's reminiscent of the children's book Stone Soup which takes place in a town where everyone is feeling a bit stingy until they discover that each person only needs to contribute something small and simple to collectively create a delicious soup.

Cooperative dinners that have worked beautifully have been burritos, spring rolls, nori rolls and grain bowls.

Last week I provided forbidden rice (also known as black rice) and a sauce. Six people contributed cucumbers, sprouts, carrots, radishes, greens, and tempeh.

The sauce recipe came from the book East by Meera Sodha. The vegetables can easily be changed to anything:)
