Directions

Rinse rice with hot water; drain. In medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add rice and return to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until most of the broth is absorbed and rice is tender. Drain any remaining liquid and let cool slightly.

Toss together rice, slaw, broccoli, walnut pieces (if using), red pepper, green onions, cheese and beef in large bowl. In 1-cup (250 mL) measure, combine dressing, lemon juice and curry powder; pour over rice mixture and toss gently. Sprinkle with pepper to taste.

Serve while still warm or cover and refrigerate to chill before serving.
