This salad is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of mint and basil in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cucumber and mint, and they don't even realize they're eating rice.

This salad was easy to make and very satisfying. I used brown rice instead of arborio rice and it turned out great. The leftovers were even better the next day.
