Preparation

Toss rice with fruit and vegetables.

In a bowl, combine curry powder, oil and vinegar. Season. Drizzle dressing on rice mix, and mix to coat well.

Add Canadian Cheddar, toss and serve.

Tips

For a milder version, try replacing curry powder with Herbes de Provence or add raisins, diced apples, nuts, etc.—whatever your imagination thinks up!

Canadian Gouda, Feta, Havarti and Mozzarella are all fine alternatives to the suggested Sharp Cheddar.
