Spanish Rice Salad Ole' image

This is a wonderfully easy salad to prepare that I got from a magazine years ago. It is great served cold after the flavors have blended for a couple of hours, and it is equally as good served hot making it super versatile. Can be easily doubled or tripled. I often use this for large crowds and it is always a hit.
