ARTICHOKE RICE SALAD

I would go with something that keeps tune with the Thanksgiving theme, but it doesn't have to be "traditional"!.
You could do something fun, like scoop out two acorn squashes, cook the fruit with margarine and brown sugar in one of the squashes, then take it out and transfer it to the other uncooked shell!. Cover it with bread crumbs and maybe a bit of shredded cheese (since you said they were lacto)!. You could carve the top of it to look fancy!.
It's just one idea, but there are plenty of vegetable dishes that could be made to compliment a thanksgiving theme :) If I were you I'd just think more about presentation (fall platters, or garnish with one of those tiny pumpkins or gourds)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
