   2       c            Cooked chicken --
                        - shredded, chilled
   1       bn           Green onions with tops --
                        - sliced
   1       c            Tomatoes -- diced
   2       c            Escarole -- chopped

                        - cut & chilled
   1                    Avocado -- chopped

  Prepare rice according to package directions. Chill. Place vinegar,
  oil, sugar, garlic, and cilantro in blender. Blend until smooth.
  Season to taste with salt & white pepper. Combine rice, chicken,
  green onions, tomato, escarole, asparagus, and avocado. Toss with
  dressing. Serve immediately or chill to blend flavors.u

  p.s. I have doubled this recipe without doubling the dressing and
  it was delicious.

  p.p.s. For the vegans out there--this is also great--sans the
  chicken. You might want to through in a few peanuts or chopped
  pecans.
  
  I prepare everything the day before and combine just before
  serving.
