BROWN RICE AND GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD
A wonderful light summer salad of nutty brown rice, grilled vegetables and a light lemon dressing. Makes a great BBQ or potluck dish. I like to make a big bowl for lunches during the week. A great way to use up leftovers from dinner!

MEDITERRANEAN BROWN RICE SALAD
My family and friends all love this salad, which they've referred to as "the Greek salad." The recipe makes enough to feed a crowd, so it's a perfect bring-along for a big party. No matter what you're looking for-something with the Greek flavors you love, or just a healthy, simple salad-it will not disappoint! If you'd like, substitute orzo for the rice. -Sarah Hawkins, Wanatah, Indiana
