hard boiled egg (3 or so chopped)
parsley (1/4-1/2 cup chopped)
dill (1 teaspoon or more dried, 1 tablespoon or more fresh)
curry (about a teaspoon)

Directions
Rice Instructions
The night before you make this salad, soak your rice. This would also be a great recipe to use up leftover rice. Soak 2-1/2 cups of brown rice in 5 cups of warm water and 5 tablespoons of whey for at least 7 hours. Drain off the liquid and combine the rice, 4-1/2 cups of water, and a couple pinches of salt in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Turn down heat. Cover. Allow to simmer for about 40 minutes. Check toward the end of cooking time to see if all the liquid has been absorbed. If so, fluff with fork, and allow to cool uncovered.
Sauce Instructions
In a medium size bowl combine yogurt, mayo, chopped tomatoes, peas, green onions, grated and squeezed cucumbers, chopped hard boiled eggs, dill, parsley, curry, and lemon juice. Stir. Give it a taste. Add some salt and pepper. Taste again. Take another look through your fridge. Anything else you want to add? Go for it.
Salad Instructions
Combine sauce with the flaked smoked salmon and rice. Stir well. Add more yogurt/mayo if you’d like a saucier consistency. Try a taste. Adjust your seasonings. Top a salad. Fill a tortilla. Spoon into a bowl. Most importantly, ENJOY!
