Remove the green beans from the ice bath and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel, then slice lengthwise on an extreme bias; add to the large bowl. Add the brown rice and gently toss to mix. Drizzle the vinegar and oil on top and toss again. Gently fold in the watercress or arugula, then season the salad with salt and pepper.
