BROWN RICE AND GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Brown Rice and Grilled Vegetable Salad image

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!
