 In a mixing bowl, combine the drained beans with the rice, celery, and
 Spanish olives.  In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing

 MENU: Great for a summer barbecue served with grilled corn, Tomato-Orange
 Salsa (see page 106; COOKS AT HOME), and green salad.
 
 This beautiful dish, flavorful and substantial enough to stand on its own,
 is a good potluck or picnic salad.
