SPRING RICE SALAD WITH LEMON-DILL DRESSING



Spring Rice Salad With Lemon-dill Dressing image

Fresh, delicious and real quick side dish for spring! Lemon and dill are one of my favorite combos. Other veggies work well in this too, such as broccoli, fennel, snow peas, zucchini, etc. Pick your favorites! Fresh dill is best but you could try substituting dried. I like to serve this at around room temperature but it can also be served warmer or cooler. Use up to 1/2 cup oil but I like to make this lower fat. Adapted from a Williams-Sonoma cookbook.
