Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups long grain rice
1 1/2 cups water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
2 garlic cloves or 2 minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup vinaigrette
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced yellow pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup diced red onion
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil, slivered

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.
  • Place the rice, chicken broth and water in a heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring gently to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • When the water is boiling rapidly, stop stirring, cover the pan with the lid and turn the heat down to low. Let cook, without lifting the lid, for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, lift the lid to release the steam, and replace it immediately. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes and serve.
  • Meanwhile, crush the garlic with the salt making a rough paste. Add the garlic paste to the vinaigrette and let stand for at least 15 minutes to combine flavors.
  • Add the vinaigrette to the cooled rice and toss with the vegetables.

I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great! The brown rice gave the salad a nice nutty flavor.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cranberries. But I'm so glad I did! The cranberries add a lovely tartness to the salad that really balances out the sweetness of the oranges and pineapple.

This salad is the perfect make-ahead dish. I made it the night before our party and it was even better the next day.
