Brown Rice Salad With Peppers and Zucchini image

This is tangy and vegetable-loaded salad that I put together out of the pantry and frige. I enjoyed it enough to post it so that I can remember it again later.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup brown rice
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
2 red pickled peppers, diced
1/2 medium zucchini, diced
1 celery rib, diced
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon oregano (not powdered)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook brown rice according to package directions (if you wish, add a 1/2 a vegetable cube in place of any salt listed in the cooking instructions) and set aside to cool.
  • Chop vegetables and cheese and toss with cooled, cooked rice. I use a mandoline slicer to get a variety of shapes and textures to my vegetables. Use whatever vegetables appeal to you.
  • In a small jar make vinaigrette by mixing the salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, garlic and oregano together and then adding the oil.
  • This will actually make more dressing than is needed for the salad, I think, but it is a solid vinaigrette that performs well on other salads.
  • Dress the salad to taste and serve immediately.
  • This salad can also enhanced by chicken, tuna or chopped egg.
